You literally said to me that as far as you can perceive, the works you cited are “not expressing anything” and then compared it to the emotional experience of staring at a blank wall. I really don’t know how I’m supposed to read this other than that you think these works of art are pointless because they don’t inspire emotions within you and that you literally have not wrapped your head around the things that they are actually expressing
so you think that the purpose of visual arts is literally nothing more than to express emotions and aesthetic beauty? Is that seriously the only kind of “expression” that you can imagine?
Something to think about: here is an artist very clearly explaining to you that they got something out of these works that you obviously missed or did not perceive and you’re not even a little bit curious as to what it might be, already deciding that there is no way there is anything of value there, and I think that’s just very unfortunate
The problem is part of my life is being an artist which means incorporating the things I’ve learned that I want people to understand into my artistic work.
Have you ever considered that artist don’t actually owe you something?
Thinking deeply about these artworks has literally helped me understand the world better so what do I do with that knowledge?Just throw it away?
As an artist and philosopher, I find this comment extremely ironic as you have identified some of the artwork which I find the most valuable and thought-provoking.
I would not just assume that this would actually disproportionately hurt heavier consumer vehicles. In road engineering, there is something called the “fourth power law”. In a nutshell, the amount of stress a vehicle applies to a road surface scales roughly with the fourth power of its axle load. In other words, a vehicle that is only twice as heavy will cause roughly sixteen times more damage to the road. Currently, even people driving the heaviest consumer vehicles are basically subsidizing road maintenance for trucking companies.
At best, your skull is a vat
Reddit gold was a paid subscription service that gave users some additional or enhanced features. It was possible to buy another user reddit gold as a gesture of appreciation for some kind of comment they made and a little icon would appear on the post if that happened. Really nothing about what i remember of reddit gold seems remotely similar to this “certified bangers” thing. Maybe you can explain what your understanding of what reddit gold is.
Im confused. How is this similar to to reddit gold? Seems more like “bestof” but run by the platform itself.
The concept of socialism is not actually hard to define, but it is extremely broad and as a term can describe a lot of distinct but highly related ideas which can make it easy to both misrepresent and misunderstand. One of the defining characteristics of capitalism is that ownership of businesses is determined purely by holding transferrable title which entitle the bearer to a certain proportion of the profits of the business. Socialism on the other hand can describe
- An equity model of any particular business where ownership of the business is determined specifically by a particular kind of relationship to the business (think of cooperative businesses, fan-owned sports teams, or even state-owned enterprise)
- An economic system that is primarily comprised of such institutions
- Any normative philosophy that proposes that certain problems associated with capitalism could be resolved by building some kind of socialist economy
