Here’s me having a lovely conversation with Mark George about progressivism, strategies for activism, where we’ve been and where we’re going as a culture. Make sure you check out the other conversations and short clips he’s published on his channel. Remarkably insightful and bighearted guy. Dig it.
So fucking tru..totally dig it!
Amazing, but I’m only 30 minutes in now. Loving it.
Here is a recommendation. An art idea.
Perhaps a jokee even.
Fish, but not only Fish, go public. Sometimes, often, they go from private to public without mediation, without mediators, and I’m not referring to alcohol or grass. I means, I’m saying, they depend on the interviewer. But the artist, borrowing the Fish paste, is a private matter of grey, not black and white only, but personal truth. Its not a disaster. Write it! Draw it!
What if Fish and others had interviews from random ordinary folk instead. What would that do?? How would that differ in revealing the artist badass?
Right? You see what I mean? What does the truth look like when responded to the less predictable prompt and random crazy? You know?
Goodnight. Sweet dreams.
Not only a good idea, but key to altering the current situation were the only public conversation we have access to somewhat staged and curated. That’s why the arts community needs greater access to the broader public as a conduit to invite blatant honestys to be blasted from the hips of the rabble in response. After all, art is the purest form of straightforward and uncensored communication we got, so asking for equally straightforward response from everybody in the auditorium is the best chance we have at saving ourselves.
