>>5769546You're being obtuse and butthurt.
>That's what most people should to aim forImagine a world in which everybody aimed for the happiness of everybody else. Empathy/mirror neurons means that creating happiness for someone else also gives you happiness, meaning that ultimately there will be more happiness than if you simply tried, and inevitably failed, to make yourself happy
>2. That's what I aim forI never claimed you did. But you should out of the outlined reasons.
>3. That that can only be reached through drawingHow obtuse can you be? Where have I said or implied any of that?
>4. That I didn't reach that already in my society/ under my own arbitrary lineIf you've done great things outside of art, that is good. But since this is a debate about greatness through art, that is what we're talking about.
>You seem eager to prove yourself better than others palI'm done with accepting the nihilism and self-fellating of people that only seek their own happiness, rather than meaning. I should clarify that I have struggled with depression and it's taken me a long time to get here.
>shitposting your subjective arbitrary metrics by which you are better than meYOU started this, saying that "I'm throwing my life away" and that "I'm very naive". This was your idea to do; I only responded that in the face of death, the idea of seeking comfort is ludicrous.
>Very strict schools, with an elite and very demanding education, do not only certify good artists. Your point being? Do you know someone who didn't progress despite making their life ENTIRELY about art to the point where he foregoes even tasty food, because that could reduce dopamine for art production?
>I devoted a few years to the improvement of art schools system in my country, That's great and I'm not being sarcastic in saying that, I'm sure many students will have a better life for it.
My issue is with art teachers telling students that they're helpless cogs only as good as their genes.
