I living in this age we do makes it seem this way, but that doesn’t mean that is the case. Everything is being fabricated/emulated to bend to the existing order- creativity and realness are out there if you look hard enough.
That’s the glass half full side of my brain
OK, people keep saying it seems that way, but if the way it seems is the same as what post people perceive as true, why does the difference matter? If you’re saying I can find creativity in this day and age if I know how to evade a ubiquitous profit-driven system that poisons all humanity, you are telling me to go on a fucking journey and hope I get lucky. How is that in and of itself not inherently wiping out creativity?
That’s the glass half empty side of my brain. And unfortunately that side seems to be much more reasonable, no matter how much it brings the vibe down and makes people uncomfortable. I guess this has helped me understand that it’s really hard to look at technology, unwavering support for capital everywhere and not immediately go full luddite. Because yeah technology is a tool, but what do you do when a tool becomes a system? You get fucking AI painting and writing music
