RE: WHAT IS REALITY? A SYSTEMIC VIEW OF LIFE - Part One
Phew... at least, know I know, why you haven't been around for almost two weeks...
First of all, I'm left sitting here with my moth open 😯 ...and some twelve linked windows and videos. Lots to chew on for sure. Since its late, I will most likely not get much further tonight 😳
I once read a definition of (artistic) genius, where they claimed, that you are a genius, when you are just a little bit ahead of the pack. If you are too far out there, they look at you as a freak (be quiet! 😜) so you need to offer just enough, which the others are familiar with... you officially qualify. I know I understood part of the headline!!
Well, actually some of the rest too and now also some of the things you wrote in past posts. For instance did I think so far, that systemic thingy was some term related to your work while its actually a way to... ahm... perceive (?) the world...?
Reality and perception are things I like to think about too as an artist. And you definitely offer a lot of interesting food for thought. Although my brain feels like the 8MHz processor from my 27 year old mac classic 🤯
When I started reading, I kept a note pad at hand, so I could scribble down things I didn't want to forget. I wrote down:
In a way, a "scientific view" is also one of trust in my opinion. For most people anyways. For me the existence of atoms isn't any more plausible than the existence of god. I have never seen either, and only trust who ever I want to believe..
Well, you wrote about that much better just a few lines down. You have the brilliant mind, I could easily fall in love with! And no, I'm not smoking anything 😇 Nevertheless, its becoming hard for me at this time of the night to add anything of value.. particularly since you didn't seem to have left much to say (staring at the open windows 😵.... 😱)
But, since you are an artist in a way (bothered me, that Donella H. Meadows left out "art" in her quote) I invite you to the artistbehindthearttreat. No, you know what?.. I think I'd like to challenge you, even if its not a challenge 😎 ...and I have your art on the blockchain, so no excuses 😇
Thank you, my friend.
I am glad that you take the effort to rummage through this monster of an article and its videos. It really is time-consuming. I appreciate a lot that you have the openness and curiosity to engage.
Thanks for giving me the qualification of not appearing freakish :-) LOL. Sometimes I am classified as one. And an annoying one, too. You give me hope and you give me company and that is so much worth in sharing.
Great, it hits what I try to say when I talk about science. As life cannot be fully understood and my lifespan is sandwiched between my birth and death, I should give care to this milestones in order to understand that without giving meaning to the two, there is little meaning in life itself.
Sorry that Donella left the arts out but you know what? I am most certain that she involved them internally. Art for me is essential, that much you know already.
Thank you for the invitation to the @artistbehindthearttreat. Shall I send you a picture of mine? Please explain. I read your article but I am not sure what do do. :-)
I have by now read most of what you wrote again and slowly but surely a little more is sinking in. Have to postpone the videos to next week, when I'm drawing again. I can draw and listen at the same time!! YAY! Now I'm trying to give shape to the idea for a new painting and that needs my full attention. Unless I take a break. Like now 😁
Oh, for the artistbehindthearttreat? OK, chances are, that it might actually be to simple for you (giggle)... 😋
Alright, if you read the post, you already know, there are no rules. So I already had in mind inviting you when I wrote that...
The "spicy" ones per weTransfer in high resolution directly to my email address please!
Everything else, please nicely wrapped up in a post about yourself, like I did here
Using the "artistbehindthearttreat" tag will be greatly appreciated :-)
edit:
Seh grad, das ist wirklich nicht ganz klar was man machen soll wenn man eingeladen ist. Ich hängs gleich dran :-)
