Oddbean new post about login | logout Art is first and foremost an egotistical endeavor. Whoever says otherwise is trying to sell you a bridge in Manhattan.
This is not a smart “take”, I’m afraid. Unless you think eating is “egotistical”. But keep up with the Laser Eyes. It’s working. "We’ll” soon reach $100,000!
How is eating not egotistical? Get ahold of yourself...
Is English your mother tongue?
No.
OK, that explains everything. Thanks for the replies!
Or maybe you missed my point. Which was that every artist's first and foremost motivation is a selfish one, and they are by definition self-centered individuals. So it's not surprising to see that they have "unrealistic expectations" about life owing them something it definitely doesn't, and being quite good at rationalizing double-standards when it comes to "their" money vs. "our" money.
Beautyon making friends as usual, I see 😆
I was confused by what he was saying, and so I had to ask, since it didn’t appear that I was” getting through”. Everyone from everywhere is on here and “The Other Place” and so I don’t assume that people come from my culture or speak my language. You’d be surprised how many times I’ve run into this problem. It’s stupid to assume everyone speaks good English just because they speak SOME English, and so it’s best to account for that. Why waste time arguing? It’s POINTLESS.
