>>5808384A first issue is that you didn't understand my point:
> "old are always better" and "youth are shit"Is not at all what I suggested. What I suggested was to get inspiration from old things to create new things. A problem that I have observed with a lot of (fine, trad) artists is that they seem to greatly lack and culture, so they tend to mostly limit themselves to being copy machines.
I think a lot of great ideas are actually coming from digital artists, for very interesting reasons.
Obviously you may still disagree, but I'd be curious hear a more precise argumentation.
>>5809947Well, I should have been more precise. "Higher education" is an intrinsically relative notion. From my perspective, finding a woman shouldn't be out of reached for someone with intelligence. Being overly smart is not the same thing as being intelligent.

>>5810923> i bet you read 'real' books and go to church too.No Church for me; I don't have time to read 'real' books. But quite frankly, so many people are making mistakes that have been exposed black on white thousands of years ago.
There's no share in building oneself on dozens of generations of efforts. This has, in my case, been one of the most valuable investment I've made in my life. I'd strongly suggest people to give this a serious shot, and make an idea for themselves.
>>5814216I'm not sure; "disciple of experience" yada, yada
>>5814473Such people aren't high class. There are still quite some well-placed people with decent ethics, but they aren't as visible/noisy/fashionable as a Kardashian.
Message soon too long, not sure I'll be taken with measure, so I'll stop here.
