I studied art & philosophy at Columbia in the early 2000s…a few of my professors then would make Jordan Peterson look tame. That was a truly difficult education and I’m glad I pushed myself through it. It taught me how to think.

I grew up in a cult that was seriously adamant about finding “the truth”. They were redpilled on politics, religion, and capitalism. Even though that cult fucked me up with guilt issues when I was young, I’m grateful for the critical thinking and fire they instilled.

Being authentic and real is the only thing I know, ask anyone who has ever met me. Problem is that I’m not comfortable around most people and have to really think before I speak so as to not offend them (but when I feel I can let loose, boy do I let loose).

The double-edged sword of individual values. They do come bundled with objective reasoning, however.

I find that anger is mostly a refusal to relate to an objective state of affairs, which although perceived, is rejected by what one feels to constitute one's identity (e.g. subjective values). Finding a way to relate the two again usually resolves it.

Bingo. I resolved most of the anger with an acceptance that the world at large will never align with my beliefs. So fuck it, I'll just Do instead of wallow. Anger is still a essential part of the fuel though.

Only an artist can think like this. In the background there must be that perpetual conflict as fuel, you are right. And it remains there forever, we just learn to balance and use it. I am only against debilitating anger, which is obviously not the right balance.

In the sense that both the objective and the subjective aspect must be seen for what they are and relate to each other - relating is all an artist does, if you really come down to it. Osho spoke a lot of this, too.

Relation is of utmost importance, this is why I love exploring sex and the reason for attraction so deeply. Ultimate relation.

You're an embodiment of this principle and the reason I highly respect you and what you do. You can exemplify something that is very rare and very important, and I bet 10K followers are just as inspired by that as I am.
