another interesting video about him

What is your Opinion about the artist Joseph Beuys, his works and his theories and concepts of Society. I think he made a huge impact on contemporary artists, the way we see and understand art and its correlation with politics, activism and even Personal Development. I also think that he had interesting Ideas about how everyone can change Society and Humankind for the good. Maybe some of his concepts, ideas and motivations could help people who are doing Personal Development and / or want to leave an impact on Society. If you have not heard of him I'll post some useful videos, material and quotes of him down below.

@Meetjoeblack and by the way what do you mean with " fapping to money shot with randoms" ?

Does anyone have some suggestions for Porn Blocking Apps for IOS? Preferably for free and without needing to subscribe to anything. I am ready to stop my Porn Addiction forever and would love to "build those walls" around Porn Addiction.

@Meetjoeblack thanks man! Was thinking about doing it this way too but wasn't that sure... I think this way of approaching it will be the best way to do it for me. I think the problem of my recurrent porn addiction lies inside something else... I often feel lonely, not in the way that I can't enjoy spending long periods of time by myself, but in the way of feeling misunderstood... I want to show everyone around me that life indeed is and can be totally beautiful, but I get the feeling that they don't want to get it. I want to be a Creator in the way of showing humankind that being alive and experiencing life is the best gift we've got. My Problem is that I don't know where to find friends nearby which whom I can talk about these things and enjoy life together, without feeling misunderstood when I talk about these things...

Let's share some Content of really good Visionaries. What are your favorite Visionaries ( can be active in any possible field ) ? How do they change Society for the better ? What do you think will the Future of Visionaries look like ? Are these Visionaries Self-Actualized and have they mastered their Psychology ?

thanks for your help! I'll try that one out!

Beautiful ! You seem to be wise !

I've made similar experiences. I often feel unconcentrated, a bit more nervous and shy, less active and feel like I've got more brainfog / overthink more often after Sex and Masturbation. I've somehow accepted that trait and just keep going with my daily Progress. Here are some Habits I try to follow daily to stay focused and in the flow Meditation, Exercising, cold showering, eating Healthy Food, going out of my comfort zone daily, listening to relaxing Music and writing down my thoughts ( Journaling)

some of my Favorite Visionaries are: Bjarke Ingels: Joseph Beuys: Terrence McKenna: Steve Jobs: and of course Leo:

I know this topic was started years ago but I'm living in northern Germany

I'm really conviced that Joseph Beuys is a good example for being a truely creative and influential artist. When I think about the advice that Leo always mentions in his videos that " You should see yourself as an artist in life." I really think Joseph Beuys was one of the first modern artists and visionarys who spread this message of everyone being an artist in its own way.

@seeking_brilliance I love classical music! I'll definetly going to check the Symphony out! I also love the work of Richard Wagner and Franz Schubert. ... I don't quite know why but the Beginning of the Symphony somehow reminds of greek philosophy haha Radiohead is a beautiful band and Thom Yorke is a genius! If you really like the Music of Radiohead you should definetly check out Thom Yorkes solo work.

Recently I really love to listen to dreamy music like dream rock / pop music and shoegaze. Especially the Work of My Bloody Valentine and Beach House. I really love the Albums "loveless" and " mbv " from My Bloody Valentine and "7 " from Beach House. It really makes me feel nostalgic, daydreaming and inspiring. Albums like these also make me realize that art has a universal language which can spread and share love, empathy and internal memories and experiences. I would love to hear your Opinion about dreamy and artful Music and if you think these forms of music could expand our consciousness. Any similar recommendations to share?

It's crazy, beautiful but in some ways also disturbing how far dreams can go. I think Lucid Dreaming is also a interesting thing that could fit to this topic. Btw. I really love the way you made this topic a very visual, philosophical and existential experience. It's a dream and a creation in and of itself!

I would love to find Friends with which I can talk deeply about Self Actualization, changing Society, Philosophical and Psychological Topics. I also would love to start Art and Music Projects and Experiments with them. My Problem: I`m still going to School and these kind of People are a bit rare to find here. I`m tired of mostly just hanging out with People just for fun or party reasons. I want to create more beautiful Experiences with Friends and build long lasting, deep, personal and authentic Relationships. It´s also hard to find People that are into Self - Actualization who could live here. Is there any App, Website etc. which could be useful if you want to find those kind of People? Or do you know any other way through which I could find them? ... I`m a Newbie so I hope that y´all understand my Problem

@Identity I will do for sure haha

Even though this Discussion was spoken in German maybe one still could be interested.

How do you think about Anti Art? / The Anti Art Movements ? If you don´t know what Anti Art is about look here : https://webartacademy.com/anti-art I think Anti Art has changed and can continue changing the Society for the better, challenging the way we perceive art, conventions and boundaries around art. It might also question the way we perceive Aesthetics in Art. I also think that Joseph Beuys had interesting Opinions towards Anti Art and expanded its term even more. There are also similar Art Movements such as Anti- Music which has a very experimental attitude. Do you think that Anti Art has and can contribute towards creating a better Society, a better Education and therefore could improve our way of creating, using and perceiving art?

@Scholar I agree with your Opinion. Just to be against something for the sake of hating it / not accepting it is completly unauthentic. But for me that´s not what Anti - Art is about. It has a loosely term and therefore often gets interpreted in the way of being against art just for the sake of being against it. I think true Anti Art is about something diffrent. It is not only about rejecting the common concept of art, but also about finding new ways to express, perform, create and present art. The paradox with Artists that are associated with Anti Art is, that these artists themselves often don't see theirselves as artists who produce anti art, but the general public. I also don't think true anti art has something to do with trends.It is more about exploring how far art can go and how it influences society in general. You can dive really deep into that Topic and I think more work and exchange has to be done there to understand how art correlates with anti art. There was a interesting discussion which once took place in the 70s about Art and Anti Art with Joseph Beuys. But it is in german and I don't know if a translation is out there.

If y'all are curious, here are a few dreamy and other interesting Albums that I love to listen to:

@d0ornokey I might live another 2-4 years in Northern Germany. After that I might live in the Netherlands but I'm not quite yet.

@Cykaaaa thanks for your help! I`ll definetly keep an eye out!
