07/10/25 23:13 I assume that people who make art are worried that they won't make something original.
But thank fuck we can't. Can you imagine the sort of utter bullshit people would come up with if they
could produce something entirely original?
If this seems facetious it isn't intended.
The fact of our capacity for originality being limited seems a cosmic stroke of luck.
06/10/25 18:58 The Law of One Vice, One Desire:
One vice is simple enough. It's physiological. You have a need to fulfill: something that is harmful
but gives you instant gratification. Instead of having multiple things fulfill this need and thereby
damaging yourself cumulatively, divert it into one practice. Smoking for instance.
One desire is more challenging, more specific. It needs to be something that is certainly
achievable and strongly desirable. There must be a degree of separation between you, your close ones,
the world you immediately inhabit and the specific object of this desire. A work crush is a suitable
example. The one desire unfulfilled will not destroy your immediate sphere of life, but fulfilled it
will invigorate everything you subsequently touch. Win-win.
The aim of the one-desire is to break the system of mimetic desires (things we want because they are
socially recognized and wanted by others) that we have all suffered too long. As with vices, we have
a need to want something, to chase after something. If we have a multitude of options to fulfill this
need, we will be tortured. We will paralyze ourselves. Every moment of our day will be consumed by
wanting one thing and then the next disparate thing that presents itself.
The most important of our core desires are precisely the ones we can relinquish mental energy over -
they will stay potent regardless of how much attention we afford them. Once freed our moment to moment
energy can then be used to enjoy things as they are, whether we get what we 'wanted' or not. We are now
able to appreciate the underlying texture of life that would have otherwise been smothered over by
the things we have convinced ourselves are 'more important' or of 'greater value'. We are more open. We
are more lucid. We can be alive to what is right under our noses.
The only winning or losing comes in, if you have chosen your one desire wisely, that specific and independent
one-desire situation. To get that one-desire would be euphoric. To not get it would be a passing inconvenience.
The system operates on a strict policy. If it isn't the one-desire, you are not allowed to provide it
a second thought. Boom Bow

19/04/25 16:17 Why is it such a joy to watch a film, regardless if it is 'good' or 'bad'?
Because somehow we simply enjoy seeing our world again, even though we see
it each and every day in far more detail and scope.
Thus a film set in a fantasy world may be a 'good' film in every other way
possible, but it cannot cause the base pleasure of showing us that which
we are familiar with, which is both a silly and a profound pleasure that has
no further explanation. At least, I have no explanation for it.
Much is made of the appeal of that which is novel, transformed, and
unfamiliar, but it is a fool's error certainly to downplay the genuine,
respectable, and no less brilliant appeal of that which we have seen a
thousand times before and will continue to see indefinitely.
