  • The Spectrum of Criteria of Individual Fulfillment from the Possession of Works

    The Spectrum of Criteria of Individual Fulfillment from the Possession of Works of Art and Craft
    There are four dimensions of owning art relevant to this question: first is the experience of the beauty as decorating one’s environment; second is owning and apperciating the one-ness of the hand of man and his little insights and imperfections – love of the character of the artist; the third is possession of a scarcity that is a direct capture and personal association with an individual time, culture, civilization, and theme; fourth is the status with possessing that exclusivity as self validation of one’s achievements.

    Myself, I do not need external validation, nor do I want responsibilty for the safeguard of a cultural relic. So if I can have an accurate copy of any piece of art that’s good enough for me. Though while architecture is reproducible, scuplture is reproducible, and prints are reproducible, pottery is reproducible, and plays are reproducible, it remains quite another thing to duplicate the complexity of a painting consisting of layers of semi-transparent color through which light passes and reflects, and the brushstrokes that compose them producing the texture of the painting at close observation. Though in that sense I’m sure our technology will get there, and I can finally have my Rothko in the living room. 😉

    I do find pleasure like anyone else in owning little pieces of pottery that connect me with previous millennia tho, because it makes time and space ‘real’ and tangible.

    You’re right Charlotte. End marriage, common property, alimony, and child support. The child only exists because of the choices of the mother. Only exists because she birthed the child. Is almost entirely dependent upon her for the first five to seven years of life. Because of men’s efforts, women are now capable of economic self-support. As such women may certainly take full possession and ownership of all children, and have no need of the caretaking of men.

    Yes as a consequence the single parent household has radically reduced household incomes, driven up the cost of living, produced the most mentally unstable generations in history, below replacement rate reproduction, caused reproductive collapse in all developed countries, rendered our population insufficient for social insurance of unemployment, medicine, and retirement, reduced the quality of education and higher education, limited our international competitiveness to the point where we are dependent upon foreign students for sciences
    are the result will be ending the advantage of our military and the dollar, starving investment in infrastructure, causing political divisiveness and conflict, and advancing the relative certainty of political instability and likely civil war.

    You can’t keep expanding selfishness when the entire reason for female privilege is the western paternal hierarchical and institutional mass production of individual responsibility for the private and common, reducing costs for all.

    We are painfully aware of sex differences in cognition, with the feminine cognition favoring empathizing in-time (feels), verbalizing and social construction, hyperconsumption, hypergamy, attention, seeking status through all of the above, and evasion of accountability and evasion of responsibility for the commons, and male cognition favoring systematizing over time (reals), physical world transformation, and political organization, hypercapitalizing, production, seeking status by all of the above, and accumulation of accountability and responsibility for the commons.

    All you have done with the present generation is convince men that all of history is correct – and if anything, norms, traditions, values, and institutions have been far too generous in their criticism of the selfishness, shallowness, novelty-seeking, and impulsivity of women.

    We used to try to make one another happy by becoming one together. We didn’t succeed as often as we desired, but we tried. You took women off the pedestal. Destroyed our convenient mythology. The incentive for that reciprocity. And the counter-revolution isn’t going to be kind or pretty.

    All market failures result in either extinction or restoration of equilibria.

    (corrrect). Whether it is a currency or not is a technical question, but if it’s a digital currency (quantifiable commodity) then clearing is frictionless. Solves the precious metal commodity problem.

    –“44% of US households have one or more dogs.”–

    Why? In Germany it’s 21%, because Germans live in apartments and Americans live in houses. So the Dog-Cat ratio is a property of living space.

    (Now how do we account for all the cat ladies?)

  • Please keep the Writers and Actors strike running for three or more years. Five

    Please keep the Writers and Actors strike running for three or more years. Five would be better. Even better, ending all copyright, and replacing it with the “Non Commercial” Creative Commons License.

    Why? As a penalty for using the creative industry for their sedition and treason and social construction of harms, assisting in the ‘march through the western institutions of cultural production” of which ‘woke’ is just the most recent sedition. The copyright was invented in order to produce taxes, but has been abused. It’s outlived it’s purpose. Creative Commons is enough.

    Explanation
    The Creative Commons licenses that allow for copying and distribution of artistic content but prohibit commercial use are:

    1) CC BY-NC: This license allows others to remix, adapt, and build upon the work non-commercially, and although their new works must also acknowledge the original creator and be non-commercial, they don’t have to license their derivative works on the same terms.

    2) CC BY-NC-SA: This license allows others to remix, adapt, and build upon the work non-commercially, as long as they credit the original creation and license their new creations under the identical terms. This means that any derivative works (works that are based on the original) must also be licensed as non-commercial.

    3) CC BY-NC-ND: This license is quite restrictive, allowing others to download the works and share them with others as long as they credit the original creation, but they can’t change them in any way or use them commercially.

    In all these licenses, “NC” stands for “Non-Commercial”, meaning that the work can be copied, distributed, displayed, performed, or modified, but not for commercial purposes.

    The counter to anti-fiat arguments, is that there is no reason one has the right to preservation of the purchasing power of any asset including money, when instead value can be parked in any number of assets not constantly diluted by inflation of the money supply.
