This whole thread is a box of rocks.

Does that mean that the people who got an A in biology are more right than people who got a B in biology?

If I told you that sex, blood, flesh, of children, extended lifespan and rejuvenated the elderly - and there was a club where billionaires did that - what then?

Hey I like unsong too.

Are you familiar with Sam Hughes ( qntm.org)?

His " there is no antimimetics division" is vibeally relevant here.

Actually it depends on who’s looking at it.

For most of us it’s all about the idea associated with the art. What it means, the backstory, the explanatory essay pinned to the wall next to the painting etc.

For some of us (mostly artists) it’s all about the experience of the art itself.

Because artists see differently from normal people.

If you like it you like it. Backstory is irrelevant.

Choose life

Just say no. The realization of culturally prescribed dreams is where it’s at. All smart people know that.
