Dead is imaginary. You are trapped in your own mind for all of eternity right now. And it's great! Enjoy the show. The issue here is that you are imagining future scenarios based on fear. If you could die you wouldn't have a self who would care about any experience. Death would be the end of fear and suffering. So even if you could exist as an endless black void, it would not be a bad thing as you presently hold it to be. Without a sense of time, an endless black void can last a trillion years but feel like 3 seconds.

Business exerts a strong corrupting influence on art. As do the tastes of the mouth-breathing masses. So a big chunk of making good art is figuring out how to survive. Art & survival, that's the trick.

Dude, slavery existed in all the ancient world. So what?

@digitalkaine Mixing art and business is a classic challenge. Business corrupts art. One solution is to just create a side business which is not artistic and use it to fund your art. That's what I did. This is an opportunity for you to buckle down and get serious about business. Being a poor, starving artist is no way to live life. The solution to capitalism is to start your own biz.

I must admit that I do have a bias on this topic, which is making art as accessible as possible so that not just the exceptionally skilled can experience the joy of creating beautiful things. Art is the joy of creating beautiful things for one's own amusement.

Do not call women that here.

Ya'll can keep whining. I'll keep improving my art. Let's see who comes out ahead.

@The Mystical Man Nice! You found the good stuff.

Signal to noise ratio for him is great and not the issue. There is a deeper issue at work. If you're gonna read McGilchirst, start with The Matter With Things.

Maybe put in a bit more effort into your questions.

Where do your buildings come from?

Apparently you've never heard of photography or photoshop.

The epitome of cringe.

It is a common myth that Egyptians used slaves to build their stuff.

Connect with the joy of learning and studying reality. Otherwise you'll be a dumb human and your life will not go so well.

Your mind gets better at with massive experience. Some of my friends who game a lot reached the point where they can basically read lips.

Thank God this clown lost. There is still hope for democracy

What's silly is that this royal cosplay still takes place in the 21st century. Chimps wearing crowns.

Of course you are dreaming others' suffering. You are even dreaming your own suffering.

Dude, you have very fucked up ideas of women, relationships, and sex. Learn to contect with women. And no, there is no point in "saving yourself".

That is quite stunning. Some people just seem to have natural resistance to it.

Making AAA games and films will never be that easy or cheap. It will still takes lots of work even with insanely powerful AI tools. Yeah, but the issue is that the uninspired, overproduced nonsense is what the mass public loves. They do not want deep films, they want mindless popcorn flicks. AAA studios cater to those masses because that's where the real money is made. Even if you can press a button and make an artsy film in one day, who's gonna watch it? Don't forget, half the budget on a major movie or game is marketing.
