The problem is we think we're separate from the world and from each other

All we need is food clothing and shelter.

You don't need to have all this extra ultra-nightmare infrastructural military industrial prison bullshit around

We just need to grow food. Everything else is a massive unnecessary complication

These look familiar..
Aren't they those maxims that Jodorowsky received from his zen master or something?

i am drunk and misspelled two things.

At least for this window of "opportunity" you have your own set of standards

many squares appear and thereby, through sheer existence, beg of your attention

attention, however, is, unbeknownst to most, the most precious commodity we possess.

don't give it to shallow enterprises

Really. Don't.

find what deserves your attention, and the act accordingly.

To know what does or does not deserves your attention is the most basic process of self knowledge.

If you don't know that, you know nothing

Commence and begin, begin and commence, go forth and attempt and discover and understand

Jap cuz im a hopeless weeb.

I think I learn more through subconscious understanding than through direct lessons

after all, we all learn how to speak english without lessons

lessons are a refinement of what already exists within us

all languages exist within us

its a matter of "getting used to"

which means, the longer you subject any personal avatar to a certain modality of sound, it has no option other than to adopt to it

this is the real meaning of learning

If this is going to be a prolonged thread then I'd have interest in posting within it

Because I want myself to be known by strangers on anonymous image boards

I have no idea what that compulsion is, ask God


What is on my mind...

I am listening to the MC5

they were proto-punk
They invented punk, fuck the sex pistols

What is punk?
Punk was a total dissolution of established protocols in a violent and orgiastic fashion

I think that most people aspire to something like this even if their approach seems more 'cooled', more intellectual, more researched, more defined, refined, ...

We want novelty

Novelty.

Each and every human being a source of novelty but

only if they access what they are as an individual and overcome the programming they were instilled with

we can all create that perfect novel of our dreams once we strive no longer to impress anyone but ourselves

no competition

the possibilities of the imagination within ourselves are adequate enough to create whole galaxies of novelty

whole

galaxies

of novelty

The Idiot by Dostoevsky

I am in a long, self-conceived process. Writing will happen 5 years from now

imma rant for a sec about something totally unrelated

pure nudity isn't necessarily the most attractive state a human can adopt

neither is when a human is clothed

the middle way is wherein a portion of the body is concealed in such a way as to accentuate the natural curves of the body that would not otherwise get highlighted by the natural light that could tend to "similarize" in tone or hue the underlying muscles and shape of the body.

When you make the ass "square", you have the hipster panty or the thong. This is contrary to natural beauty.
The bikini panty is the ultimate aesthetic.

Check your calculus, your golden rule.

That's one of my fav paintings btw

There are not two options: normal programmed society person V shut in on welfare.
Not sure how you got that impression.

Having a job is a necessity. Unless your parents are one of those one in a thousand parents who really let you do your thing and allow you to live there. Which I doubt. Or if you plan to "Into The Wild" it. Which I also doubt.

Nothing good can ever come from staying with normal people. ~Toonami bump

I'm sure at some point in your life you thought to yourself "It would be pretty cool if I could do [insert creative activity here]." Well just do that, with all of your free time. And work a job. You don't have to have a "social life." That is a waste of time nowadays. You're not going to have any enlightening conversations with interesting people. Just do your thing, alone, and keep at it, for 10 years.

He's clearly schizophrenic, don't make light of his condition anon, that's not cool, even for 4chan standards.

Once you've experienced the joy of reading a book, it's hard to stop.

You just have to find the right book. School doesn't really help, making reading mandatory makes it seem like reading and books in general are boring and intolerable. But they ain't nigga they ain't. The right ones, at any rate.

Why am I responding seriously to this.

I wonder if you've noticed this pretense people adopt when they write what they call "poetry"

The word already gives an unidentifiable distaste
We can appreciate poetry from the ages past, but
Does anyone really think they overcome the artificial feeling that lurks under every word they write in what they conceive of as a "poem"?

"I am a poet."

You might as well claim you're an intolerable idiot. Nobody feels genuinely anymore. Nobody has anything to really say. It is all the appearance of it now. Write about your Walmart parking lots. Write about that superhero film you saw. In a poem. Write a poem about it. Write a poem about a facebook post from your ex girlfriend. Write a poem about how much your parents suck. Write a fucking poem about nothing.

Write a poem about the existential angst at living in a world where everything has been reduced to a simulacrum of life, how we have all become spectators, glued to screens. Write a poem about a walk you had in those yet unspoiled quadrants so graciously bequeathed to us by the government called "parks". Write about the fucking bird that tweeted on the tree branch.

And then go home and watch the Walking Dead on Netflix.

Don't ever write poetry, any of you, you fucking slags, you make me sick.

>Cares about science and philosophy
>Doesn't want to care about it

So you're schizophrenic? You've got to keep a journal between your two selves and have a dialogue, that's the only way out

We live in a universe. "BUT WHAT IF THERE'S LIKE MORE THAN ONE EXISTENCE?"

The way I use the word "universe" is the way it's always been used up until michio-kaku types thought it'd be clever to ignore the meaning behind the word and just single out the fact that 'uni' can be changed to 'multi'. Universe just means existence. Also known as "everything."

BUT WHAT IF THERE ARE LIKE, SEVERAL EVERYTHINGS?

Yeah, okay.

>How does one judge free verse?

Did you enjoy reading it and thinking about it?

There's your fucking standard of judgement. Jesus, does everyone need to be told how to feel about everything these days? You are the standard by which it is judged. The thoughts happening in your mind and the feelings in your body.
