Even worse, without substance

and skill

Repeating the past

Like trying to clone something

Or imitate a hip kid

Some people's idea of what they want is, and I guess we all kind of imagine it somehow

Better to not put it in images

Too specific

Is nice family, nice girl, house in the countryside and stuff

I think that is what most people want

Or at least in the suburbs

But we kinda have mentally to move from ideas of comfort

I sincerely believe such things make us spiritually weaker

Or at least more flexible ideas

Yes, I think so

More literal, material-oriented

a return to bible art?

Nationalism (the petty kind) is also one source of conformism

Evola had a good riff on that

got a reference @diversity_is_racism ?

Yeah, he kind of sourced it from Nietzhe too, but put it quite well

Nationalism without being in the spirit is herdlike

I imagine if we kind of substituted this wishful Romanticism with the struggle and inspiration that is really in front of us

We would be left with art that is rather simple, dry and lonely

remove romanticists

ree

just dont force it

the best kind of art is the one done with love and passion

To Evola? Bloody heck... http://www.toqonline.com/blog/julius-evolas-concept-of-race-a-racism-of-three-degrees/

I like the idea that race is something within as well as in the genes, but that makes sense

it really will come off on your work if what you did, no matter how bad it is, was with love and passion

NICHOLAS NASSIM TALEB

Posporo I have to disagree in a way

Well perhaps you can call it love and passion, but I sense danger in being informed by those sentiments

im just saying

the best art is done with those emotions involved

do you love the idea and the story? or are you doing it for the love of the country, etc

it drives you

8" PENIS

Would you say, looking at pre-raphaelite art, that you sense love and passion there
