The arts and humanities are integral for us to approach what even is the right question to ask with regard to "this moment." So I'm stoked that my favorite musicians are finding ways to express images of this moment such that we can arrive at the question imposing itself on us in a meaningful and consequential way.
Might I recommend to all this talk by the renegade Jungian, James Hillman, on aesthetics, psychology, and Nature:
Also everyone checkout their ecological footprint with this calculator... really puts into perspective how absurd and short-lived our current modern lifestyles are: https://www.footprintcalculator.org/home/en
That's amazing . Nice direction to be looking .
yeah....I support no political parties . I'm more Lennon than Lenin . But I think if we perceive somethings wrong & don't do anything to try to address that, we're clearly part of the problem & not the solution . When we can stop forgiving ourselves for the things we do personally that we know are part of the problem we have hope & for those who do that I think mental wellness increases .
No knights in shining armour will save us . If we can grasp that we as individuals are not so important in the grande scheme , beyond how we detrimentally impact our environment & our society , we will be getting back on track . We all can undo what we were all part of creating .
This doc looks interesting . I left school at 16 & I don't know so much about Jung , Nietsche or Freud but what I did assess from my observations is they all found a little bit of truth & all also things I think are not so true . Do u know Buckminster Fuller ? I never heard him utter a word I didn't think was deeply true .
Looking forward to watching it this evening . Good luck with your studies & thank you for your kind words !
Yeah, Buckminster Fuller has a deep imagination that I admire. I'd be curious to hear if you imagine your songs and sounds in similar proportions to his architecture. There's a synthetic yet terrestrial quality that comes through in his work, and it's a dynamic that seems also to be negotiate the spatial arrangements in All Things Being Equal.
I too had a shit education... the people who built our prisons also built our schools (talk about architecture!). Freud obviously has his problems but is vastly under appreciated; even more so for Jung, for whom the notion of soul (not as a spiritual substance but as the quality of perspective, if you will) was paramount and in my opinion, a necessary yet absent concept from environmental and even psychological discourse. What do we even say about Nietzsche...
Appreciative of your encouragement and words. More Lennon than Lenin... ha. I might be more Lemon than either of them. Although if we're leaning in that direction, I'm more likely an Okra, an Ochre, an Orca.
Atb= was influenced by natural organic forms that I saw in things . It's interesting Bucky's design for the geodesic dome was later found to already exist in some sort of microbiological cell structure . I think the geometry of nature has a certain logic & simplicity I like alot in general.
tbf . I should say I didn't have a shit education . I went to one of the best schools in the UK . I just didn't receive the best part of my education there : ) My feelings about educational systems is gonna be even more OT than I already led us .....And my feelings about prisons too ......
I never did see Iceland . Maybe it'll happen w Noah for a show .
Haha, awesome!
