Ten-Minute Art School Bullshit

“There is no one right answer. Reality is ambiguous. Aristotle said it is either A or not-A. It cannot be both. The sky is either blue or not blue. This is black and white thinking as the sky is a billion different shades of blue. A beam of light is either a wave or not a wave (A or not-A). Physicists discovered that light can be either a wave or particle depending on the viewpoint of the observer. The only certainty in life is uncertainty. When trying to get ideas,  do not censor or evaluate them as they occur. Nothing kills creativity faster than self-censorship of ideas while generating them. Think of all your ideas as possibilities and generate as many as you can before you decide which ones to select. The world is not black or white. It is grey.”

This except is from Ten-Minute Art School Course (Tumblr link) which has close to a thousand reblogs/likes whatever. It has some nice open-mindedness concept for people who’ve never had an original thought in their entire life, but at least half of this article is almost entirely hogwash. Garbage. Complete nonsense. It basically says how everyone is right because there is no wrong answer to anything because everything is subjective.This type of thinking is the destruction of civilization. When we eliminate right and wrong, I’m not talking about eliminating ethics here (which is quite important on it’s own), but ELIMINATING LOGIC. There IS such thing as correct and incorrect, and not everyone’s opinion is valid.

How the article reveals it’s own self-contradiction SO badly is by this excerpt I removed. It quotes Aristotle, and one of his biggest key principles: “A is A”. The summation of this principle is that logic is the only real truth. Logic is the discerning of reality by objective means: that up is up, down is down, we are humans, we are mortal, death is irreversible and if you try to earn something without working for it, the world will balance itself out and you’ll fall right off the edge, which is my own paraphrasing (albiet not a very a good one).

So here it is, quoting Aristotle, and thenusing his quoteto display the exact opposite of what it’s meaning is, by going ahead and saying “A is A, or A is not A. There is no both. But everything is ambigious.”What the flying fuck.

Please Tumblr, smarten up, and don’t buy this bullshit which is a disgrace to human intelligence.

"The richness of the rain made me feel safe and protected; I have always considered the rain to be healing — a blanket — the comfort of a friend. Without at least some rain in any given day, or at least a cloud or two on the horizon, I feel overwhelmed by the information of sunlight and yearn for the vital, muffling gift of falling water."

Douglas Coupland (via strangerains)

always too felt the rain as a blanket…snuggly
