some random tangent about philosophy
it feels so fucking weird to have such a philosophical grasp on how to handle life.
yet i know that i know nothing... quote socrates
what is the meaning of life. what is your instrinsic motiviation to do things.
its love
which is the only thing socrates claimed to be an expert on in apollos apology.
and ive broken love down to its nuanced concepts enough times and done enough art to represent those ideas that i know exactly what love means.
i cant answer the question though, i think its similar to a christian understanding the holy trinity as in accepting that it doesnt make logical sense.
life is short so do the things you want to do.
yeah mate, im aware, thats why im building my art career now... like right now... like it started 6 months ago or last weekend depending on whether you are measuring the career as selling art or just exhibiting art.
the specifics of anything dont matter, the concepts do. the point of education is learning how to learn rather than being taught about the specifics of history or philosophy or math or how to write.
in the real world you dont have someone holding your hand, unless you find someone of whom you can hold the hand of. but those are two different metaphors using the same analogy
what intrinsic motiviation do you have to do things. if you dont know then may i refer you to turning your phone off and going for a walk through the australian countryisde for a day or a week or however long you have?
socrates, 'for i was counsious that i knew practically nothing' because the oracle said he was the wisest man, and if the oracle is true and socrates does not know things, therfor no one must know anything, and wisdom is measured in humility of admiting ones shortcomings.
