The beauty of definitions

[Davino]

Lately I've found a joy in finding definitions for words and concepts, even though I might already know them, it gives extra precision and sometimes historical background. 

There's also something profoundly beautiful about a great definition.

Me too, I normally do it because I wrote poems. It also helped me to express lately about truth, beauty, and existence

I'm realizing there is no Artistry section on this forum.  It should probably be added to this subforum.  I'm talking about artistry as conscious creation.  And this involves intellect because process is intelligent.  When you do blah that is intelligent.  What Artistry is about is becoming more conscious of what you do, and this involves reflection and awareness which is intelligence, even though it is not abstract categorization or classification.  Tying your shoes is intelligence!

i tried tellin people, the [it] thing is gonna be words, concepts, definitions ~ function, form & meaning...

Its just a matter of time til everyones on the same page, for you need letter/words for everything, thus the-thing-itself = words

In reconciling past, present, future... words... Writing songs and need to not name everything "New Song 5"?.... inventing ideas, or wat about programming on comp, you need text, i e., words implemented, or u gota weird, wordless engine that dont make sense (it wouldnt make sense trust me)

Words are like, a requirement you didnt know how much you needed until it was needed nd its like, Oh shit, you actually need that for everything...

The words are the first layer of the engine to life, wherein prior to its just like, pure libido realm or something... But once livido world fades its back to words again, libido vs words.

This piqued my curiosity. What is Artistry to you? What would the Artistry section be for, can you elaborate a bit on what you would want to see there?

[Joseph Maynor]

I think some of us think in terms of narratives.  So when we have a direct experience, that narrative has to be catered to, kind of like a rider on our back.  Everything directly experienced has to be "made sense of" very fast in terms of that narrative we have a vested interest in.  And we all do this, but it is kind of a bias too.  It is a need to reduce direct experience to understanding, and then to privilege or vindicate that narrative in light of any experience.

it might compete w/ actualized dot org, especially if im here... in the sense that, Artistry is quite powerful, and unless you do it quietly or without alot of ppl taking part in, then suddenly everyone is an artist. i can give u an example of wat i mean...

When i played music w/ friends, and when my friend had friends who would come over to watch us playing instru., suddenly it had inspired everyone to be choosing some sortve instrument or artistic endeavor to inact, and not saying that every single person felt like it was their calling to do this, but a majority of ppl felt like, 'hey that looks fun i want to do that too... or they thought, "hey wait i want to do that as i like music!" And if you then make a band, now its sortve at odds w the fact that your audience now all wants to participate. That is, anyone whos ever liked a related thing is going to become an artist, once the freedom to do that is put out there... for that reason, i wouldnt make a section related to it, or if i did, id bury it somewhere where its not gonna have any attention.... or you could even make it like a temporary exp., like yous could have say "X forum section, that changes every 30 days", like "Experimental section... for art, ideas that dont belong, etc." but i think even that is suggestive towards this thing im calling like, "INSPIRATION on the unintended consequence sorta lvl".

p.s. continued avidya state around imperial cult or just very much appreciating someone (or not appreciating) as a friend that you think of in the same light as thinking or saying to yourself \* messo a fuoco (in focus... like youd focus on anything...) That is one thing... but then treating friends like skirmishes, that has to be reconciled, otherwise its like "i like you, but im gonna keep you on a rotation-kebab so i have more friendship chances..." Thats sortve what it feels like if people were to appear and disappear to you, or if they were to change who they were, etc., iuno its hard to explain, but you sorta get what imean. Theres something taken for granted~around love + friendship, n most young ppl

I just want to correct wat i said, so it doesnt seem like 'Oh what are you targeting us purposefully?... Like, its not that im actively destroying something specific, instead, everything i touch has seemingly been destroyed, by accident. So im just saying, literally everything ive ever touched or looked at or thought about has been destroyed, And thats just being honest, like... theres never Not been destruction happening, and i feel like, to ignore it is to be telling ourselves i lie that we think is truthful in its sentiment. Everything is fragile, for reasons beyond our comprehesion, or so ive experienced...

The other day, when i woke up and took down a ceramic bowl (or u know, normal bowl material) from the kitchen cabinet, i went to put the bowl down on the counter, and i swear on my liiiifffe, That shyt broke like it was made of sand, like it melted in front of me ~ cause i placed it down real hard. That sht melted, like it didnt even break, it disintegrated into tiny sand, i dont even understand it really.
