Apple veteran once described executive success culture there as 2 rules: do the right thing, keep Steve happy. Not a polarity but the sort of orthogonality tension that makes for good 2x2s. Ones that resolve via actual creative solutions rather than collapse into a zen degen Mu.

Zen degens are the worst
Anyone who ever says Mu should be sent to live with cows
Anyway
Wonder if this is why I like 2x2s 🤔

Been thinking of my own orthogonality rule
I think it is: do the sublime thing, make money
Very unstable quadrant. You constantly risk slipping on one or both.

Sublime + run out of money = interesting art
Not sublime + makes money = selling vitamins online
Not sublime + does not make money = identity expression art
Sublime + make money = lucky art
Art that brings luck is my preferred mode
