What kind of pattern of thought and events lead to emotional attachment or feelings of indifference? Feelings of positive or negative whole, entirety which make an entity from which to grow and see oneself and others. An idea of something and thought of someone, thoughts that one person has of people around and what one can do in one’s life? It is curious how we become to like or unlike, liked or not liked. It happens so easily, getting rid off an unpleasant sight, feeling, event, person, job, thing, something we cannot learn to live with. How there are these negative emotions towards something and why they are there and how well we tolerate them, and when we don’t have to tolerate anymore, when indeed. I ask because those negative feelings, events and things exist without going anywhere especially if they are left without solving. They can and will make a mess of unsolvable issues around, too difficult to handle and talk about. When the negative is passed on forward usually quite loosely and without much thought, it will have an effect. To think what kind of effect one wants to make in a world and to exist is therefore quite important. How negativity grows, feasts and eats our spaces, bodies and minds has a substantial meaning and ground in our daily lives. It happens so easily one can nothing but wonder the will to do bad, even when it seems minor offence, and the will to want bad to happen for someone even when it feels just a joke. There is a heavy core of infantile need to be quick and do damage just for the sake of damage. Damage that does not feel like damage to you. It brings joy to cause destruction and create a world of distrust and hurt for many. It obviously gives a feeling of power to inflict hurt and make someone feel an underdog. As long as one is not caught. It is still matter of shame to knowingly cause hurt and want bad for someone I hope. Everyday ethics can be very lost, many not understanding what ethics means and how to apply ethics in everyday.

We eat everything and feel like leaving is the meaning.
People who have everything but have nothing to give. Something which is far away has got something worth while for them, a picture, to witness a dream and a journey. Where are you, where have you been, who are you. Is there something wrong when you want to go, realize a dream of going like leaving jail? It is good to go and come back. Philosophy of contemporary human to whom life is a magazine with constant novelty and joy, unable to stand everyday life, trivial chores thinking what there is to take, what there is to get. Cannot say I admire contemporary human as I see him and her lost. What to say to contemporary human I feel I have said quite much and feel powerless. There is so much and yet so little of everything.
Any branch that wishes to appear ethical should be so to the very bottom. Not just to appear ethical but be ethical.
Ethical glued on does not work nor seem reliable to trust. Those well-meaning thoughts, efforts and concerns fall flat when the whole industry is rotten to the core. When one does the opposite to someone and the polishes the image with other hand. You know what I mean? Like washing clean something that is spoilt. When practices in use do not stand the light of day one can ask what is going on and why grievances have not been dealt with properly? Such as getting paid for job done, poor working conditions where bullying is more than a rule and work is difficult to find without connections, striking sexism which oddly lives on, holding on to authority of institutions and experts who are at the highest rank not taking the branch forward but keeping it unchanged, not to mention rights of other laborers who work to build the facilities, maintain them and so on. Still artist is at the bottom of all this and very few actually stand up for artists. Of course it is commonly narcissistic field luring those who wish to make money where it is to be made, artists with ideas make value for those above. It is not questioned because artists are often depending on help. When money rules how things are done and ruled in authoritarian manner it is a dead-end. When beauty, philosophy, aesthetics and picture of human being is revealed, dug, explored and wanted to understand it demands sincerity, commitment, will to understand, sensibility and trustworthiness which I consider are basic human qualities too often forgotten and hastily abandoned. It is essential to be able to trust a source, that work is done properly, be able to trust authorities that they are fair, respectful and honest. This is not always the case. Very little so, unfortunately. If you do not respect artists do not work in the arts. It is not a playground of the wealthy and posh, at least should not be. Those who let outer traits, gender and origin effect their decision-making please do a favor, learn to think differently, change the perspective and your attitude. There are too many assholes in this business.
Always warms my haarat when artists team up for good cause. A dashing good job. Must be reliable source for masters of art…
http://www.badscience.net/2015/07/fixing-flaws-in-science-must-be-professionalised-by-me-in-j-clin-epi/ ”Science currently faces multiple challenges to its credibility. There is an ongoing lack of public trust in science and medicine, often built on weak conspiracy theories about technology such as vaccines(1). At the same, however, there is clear evidence that we have failed to competently implement the scientific principles we espouse.”
We expect art has testimonial value, sensitiveness and truthfulness for it to be appreciated as image of us.
What is lie in art is its unwillingness of changing when it thinks it changes all the time, inability to see in what kind of world we live in, inability or reluctance to confront the facts and do something about the issues that clearly aren’t right (not just show how things are wrong but do something to correct the situation), realities of people pictured, stories told, truths of those portrayed and those who make art can make a weird scene where we can be worried how things are wrong but not see how things truly are wrong in the business and what kind of impact art has in the world, good image is not good enough. Lie in art is to make a lookalike of everything is fine when they are not, not to do anything to sexism, discrimination, worker rights, authority of institutions, underpay and overpay and who actually gets paid. Art is evidently a needed industry but who needs it most? It is sad how terribly art is abused and undervalued especially by those who work within art. To say how things are is not a crime, not to say anything is.

Why is body damaging? Or should the question be rather what kind of mind does not tolerate body?
Questions to be answered hopefully of what gets damaged by body, who damages what in the process of living with bodies, what is there to be protected? Something similar could be asked by why we allow the self-evident damage to be done by excessive mechanized sexualization in visual universe we inhabit? Something needs to be sold and it is going cheap. Constant intrusion of purity is an attack done by entertainment industry. When art does the same there is a scandal. What other is it about than hypocrisy, living in a new world with old virtues and vices. Where is empowerment and who has it?
Thought of the obscene body, body parts, impropriety, bodily obscenity which is linked to build and controlled civilization, concepts of shame, honor, purity, denial, evil, temptation and sin. Corpus that is indecent all the time even clothed must be punished also all the time to prove goodness and strength of mind, ability to control oneself and capability to decency. Our sexuality which is inappropriate, difficult to the very core is on display everywhere for consuming purposes and is still denied, humiliated and put to shame. Advertising and entertainment is according to creators of business talk empowering and broadening horizons, opening minds to human sexual exploration. Obscenity is in contradiction to nature and to nature in us. The more we put nature to shame and sweep it under the carpet the more problematic the issue gets. To be damaged by act of intercourse, seeing nudity, being nude, having to deal with sexuality and complexity it brings is at large a mighty part of nature within us and part of all. The difficulty to understanding this practical everyday part of life seems to be very common and around we see a very sexualized world.

As there is thought to be a bond between art and exploring human sexuality, art and the dangerous animal in us, it is strange how forcefully sex is banned in art. Such prohibitions, raising eyebrows in embarrassment tell of artists not having much power within art that public opinion and public image play an important role what kind of art can be displayed and seen in art context. There is a strong stereotype of sexually liberal artist, female and male caricature almost which has been made via art history by telling stories. Liberal, someone who is disregarding social norms, such stereotype which is an image from a dusty book than real life. Strangely I have encountered this stereotype of an artist and it is dusty. Sex and drugs and rock and roll.
Why is female body obscene?
One could expect an obvious answer: we are used to thinking it is. We are used to thinking sex is obscene, shameful, unmentionable erected and wet, awkward and personal. We expect the obvious, a normal and we seem to know the answer for what is normal. As I ask what is obscene, in general it is nudity, sexual act, showing of genitalia, to show interest in sex and porn. I think it is not that clear at all, because I resent the normal point of view, obvious answers and see porn everywhere, pornographication and critique of this phenomenon, it makes me wonder why the fuzz and closing of eyes. It is too beautiful to be proud of one’s porno-body in front of people, it is too much to take because of the consequences, looks, talk, ideas, dirtiness, it is the most secretive of all and to be revealed only in private, something of your own and still not. Nudity is not public, is restricted as common rule from viewing. To stand in front of someone and be judged by one’s nakedness, one’s body and what it looks like. Naked body is meaningful and society has a need to make it meaningless? Or society is scared of looking at bodies and what they hold, what they do and make, what comes where, what is what, who likes what, who gets to judge and make value out of bodies that feel and need. Well body is not meaningless in a society where it is strictly prohibited from existing. It has plenty of meaning in such culture. Where there is freedom of body, body has different kind of existence and purpose for culture. People who are not afraid of sexuality, to look at images of sexual bodies see themselves differently than those who are scared of that content, of that truth revealed. The more one hides the more there is to reveal? How to reveal and why what one hides? What is the scare?
When we look at pornographic pictures it is for pleasure. It is mostly not anatomical examination. It is not to see how muscles behave in certain position, what kinds of positions do the actors take as they fuck and what kinds of angles do the cinematographers choose when they picture the scene. Clichés, clichés, stereotypes after a while they are too clear and make one yawn. Obscene fades after exposing oneself for the so-called filth. Numbness is the one disturbing one’s mind, how oblivious and indifferent one gets. It is human body and what we do with it which make our culture, act of body, what we are meant to do with it and can do, what it is for. What can I make of it other than explore it as I explore myself, since I am seen as sexual and that point of view is heavily planed on me. So I take it and make it my own.

To agitate and wage hate against someone: Bite me.
To my great surprise I have ended up moving from one hateful group to another. I have long stopped thinking it is my fault. I follow my interests and they are many. People have their reasons for hating and they do not need much for finding reasons. Hating for sake of hating is obviously good enough. As it happens many don’t recognize their behavior as hateful because it is common, normal and accepted, which is as such truly surprising that thinking you know is a valid way of grounding opinions and ways of interacting that do not alter. People can have a very twisted outlook on the world and to other people without much truth in their points of views. It is always the other to blame when something is not right.
If gossiping and stabbing in the back is not hateful I don’t know what is. If you promote yourself hating someone and think it is justified maybe you should seek help because that is fucked up. There are plenty of people who put people down talking bad things about those others and that scheme somehow lifts those bad talkers up. Very strange pattern of thought that through violence you could be lifted, elevated as better than. That is not accepted in schools, in art, in science nor at work, it is not accepted from parents.
