Due To Current Circumstances The Idea Of Art Having A 'soul' And Using 'soulless' As A Pejorative Has
due to current circumstances the idea of art having a 'soul' and using 'soulless' as a pejorative has increased. Is it a good idea to tie creative value to this kind of mystical aura? It's not, and I don't mean that because it's supernatural but because it is exclusive and narrow.
In Ancient Egypt, they apparently believed in more than three 'souls.' Which one is blessing your art?
Will expand in a future post on the bio-essentialist and exclusionary core of the soul/soulless conflict

I get the impression that Feng Shui isn't really about making predictions about reality, but is rather about value judgments and aesthetics. It's similar to how people see the Golden Ratio or classical architecture. If someone says, "living in a building based on classical proportion is more harmonious" we can recognize that there's a philosophical element which is not literally making a claim we can test, and that's fine.
I read somewhere that in Korea, there's a place where they tried to balance out a mountain range by building structures, and I think there's something going on there that is beyond a desire for material results and gain. It's a value judgment about how the world should be.
Of course, the reason Feng Shui is targeted is the result of cultural prejudice, but I think it has just become one of those idees fixes for skeptic community people where they automatically dislike it

Ballet, like opera, is wonderful because it is monstrous, the hyper-development of skills nobody needs, a twisting of human bodies and souls into impossible positions, the purchase of light with blood.

If all things were turned to smoke, the nostrils would distinguish them
All the things we see when awake are death, even as all we see in slumber are sleep
Man kindles a light for himself in the night-time, when he has died but is alive. The sleeper, whose vision has been put out, lights up from the dead; he that is awake lights up from the sleeping
This world,[13] which is the same for all, no one of gods or men has made; but it was ever, is now, and ever shall be an ever-living Fire, with measures of it kindling, and measures going out
Men that love wisdom must be acquainted with very many things indeed.
Wisdom is one thing. It is to know the thought by which all things are steered through all things
We step and do not step into the same rivers; we are and are not.
Time is a child playing draughts, the kingly power is a child's
Mortals are immortals and immortals are mortals, the one living the others' death and dying the others' life.
They are estranged from that with which they have most constant intercourse
Those who are asleep are fellow-workers (in what goes on in the world)
It is pleasure to souls to become moist.
The lord whose is the oracle at Delphoi neither utters nor hides his meaning, but shows it by a sign
The sun will not overstep his measures; if he does, the Erinyes, the handmaids of Justice, will find him out
It is best to hide folly; but it is hard in times of relaxation, over our cups.
To God all things are fair and good and right, but men hold some things wrong and some right
Cold things become warm, and what is warm cools; what is wet dries, and the parched is moistened.
I think if you clear away all the cultural bias/normalization caused by living under copyright you can see that legally forcing someone to not write about other peoples' fictional characters is a violation of artistic freedom on the same level as state censorship

This is absolutely a correct statement if it was just about personal remixes, but the context here is about businesses using other people's work without permission. It has nothing to do with whether or not you're allowed to remix it yourself. If a company has the means to use someone's work in a for-profit venture, then they have the means to pay someone for the product of their labour. These companies don't even use other people's IP in a novel way that bends IP law to create something that contributes to culture; the loss of culture if sellers of Redbubble t-shirts couldn't just take pictures from the internet and sell them for 40 bucks anymore would be negligible compared to, say, losing Lasgna Cat alone would be.
its already illegal for redbubble sellers to do that though. thats already not allowed. like thats already literally a copyright violation under current copyright law and guess what: because random people posting their fanart online don't have the money to afford a corporate lawyer, it just keeps happening and will keep happening, because copyright law never has and never will defended anyone but the wealthy. like this fantasy of your art as a Small Artist being protected by copyright law is just that, a fantasy, it doesn't happen and will never happen. you are completely detached from reality!
