    (FB 1543537043 Timestamp) ON THE VALUE OF ART TO THE ARTIST AND CONSUMER by Tim Beckley-Spillane As Curt has pointed out, metaphor and allegory are adopted for their economy. Artists use them as a means of conveying subjective experiences that are much too complex and intricate to communicate in toto. The mystifying element of art is simply a necessary consequence of the shorthand approach employed in its creation, and so it can’t actually be demystified because it’s a message presented in incomplete, non-operational, non-scientific language, and therefore the exact intention and experience of the artist cannot be extracted from it. The imprecision of a fortunately rendered artwork can inspire a great deal of intellectual stimulation however, and it’s in this that great art gains much of its value. The greater the intellect of the consumer, the better equipped he is to connect the dots, to imaginatively exhaust all of the possibilities presented in the artwork (which are, of course, endless), the greater the value he finds in it. Imprecision also necessitates interaction, unification of thought and experience, which is the ultimate end that the successful artist achieves by means of his art. In other words, the ultimate aim of artistic production is not the work itself, but the exchange it mediates between the artist and consumer, which can continue as long as the artwork survives. As the great novelist James Joyce said of his masterpiece, Ulysses, “I’ve put in so many enigmas and puzzles that it will keep the professors busy for centuries arguing over what I meant, and that’s the only way of insuring one’s immortality.”

    (FB 1543607997 Timestamp) Another nit: Great Men “Candidates” evolve (emerge) in batches, usually over three generations of incentives (really). In other words, the market for great men exists at all times (iron law of oligarchy so to speak). World Communism was such a threat (and it’s legacy still is) that it created demand for great men to both take advantage of it, and to oppose it with Fascism. Everything else that occured within those societies was simply utilitarian. whether we get a Mussolini, Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot is merely a function of utility in the sphere of influences. And as controversial as it might seem today, Hitler and Mussolini if not Stalin and Mao, will be judged by history quite differently. And it is happening already. Science evolves with the death of the advocates of theories. As a struggle for expansion during an era of western dominance we skew one bias, and as an attempt to save the core of western civilization in a period of anticipation of decline, we skew yet another. History is unkind to the consensus of an era. That is because consensus is merely utilitarian – rarely true. Its not uncommon to see informed debate that the anglos should have stayed out of the wars, rather than contributing to cause and conflict.

And holy fuck, you’re a smarter guy than i realized. I’m embarrassed I didn’t notice the depth of it before. Hahahah”— A Friend So in person I’m kind and charming, in video interviews I’m smart and deep, and online I’m a dick and shallow? Is that what I’m supposed to take from this??? Lolz.
