RE: An original thought on the kaleidoscope of the artist

"You are only as original as the reference to you source is obscured" I think that is a quote. I surely could not have come up with it myself.
Unfortunately in this world of information and distraction it is difficult to come up with a truly original thought but I do believe that there is also the phenomenon of some sort of Zeitgeist where I believe a new idea can just pop up out of nowhere for many different people without any cross pollination. It is as though there is a creative force that connects us all that we are not aware of.
It is like some ideas are just ready to be born to the world.
Imagine the wheel. I don't actually think it was invented. I believe it was always there ready to be discovered and when it's time came. Pop!
Going back to what you wrote about bacteria. It was discovered that there are things like the wheel and even mechanical devices that do exist on a microscopic level. Far from the observation of inventors of the time.
I think we can overthink things and forget that we are a part of nature. Our minds are part of an evolutionary process.

Sort:

It is interesting as it was developed at different times throughout history across the world, based on what they have found anyway. If I remember correctly, there was one tribe who used them on children's toys, but didn't make the connection that the wheel could also be used to help them in their work.

I think that ideas are part of the transfer of energy, we observe nature/something, it generates a thought, we discuss (internally without ourselves perhaps) and plan, we create. It is a cycle that is continually going in different phases across multiple areas, consciously and subconsciously.

A lot of what we create is a reflection of nature and I have always wondered at the concept of "man-made", because we are inside the system. I think that we have some deity-complexes and believe we are exempt - but everything we create is no different to ants or bees creating a nest - we can just do it at a more complex level.

Hi Taraz, with this article you have entered the field I love. An immense field like the passage of time and the flow of history.
You know very well that the concept of art has been changed several times by man, starting from Sanskrit = ordering and ending with the first Greek period as the ability to know the rules for producing objects and it is no coincidence that art in ancient Greece also included part of Science, Astronomy and History.
In Hellenism it is classified as a liberal art, that is, that intellectual abilities must be used.
If you combine art with culture then you have made a strike!
The term culture in Latin means to cultivate and take care, hence the cult in honor of the gods.
We have something that distinguishes us from animals and it is better that we keep it close, creativity.
Which I don't see often on Hive, unlike your content.
But the speech would include another article.

The connection of art and culture is interesting as often people use art as the representation of culture, which is true - it is also true that culture is changed by art itself, so the interdependence is obvious.

I connect art to being creative no matter the field of study and often, there are those who are able to cross fields to add to the conversation, sometimes unknowingly. There is art in the simplification of an equation, art in the craftsmanship of a carpenter.

You're right: instead of trying to find new ideas,

  • How about we leverage the ones that make sense?

Speaking about Zeitgeist,

  • What's your opinion about the movie?

For evil to thrive it's enough that people do nothing.
i don't believe we can overcome our challenge by doing nothing.

  • What do you think?

I don't know what you are trying to achieve with these random comments that have very little to do with anything except your strange personal agenda...

Our leaders imposed some measures that reduce our liberties so they have the burden of proof.

What's the proof?

what the fuck are you talking about?? Have you had some kind of mental breakdown?

Why do you ignore the question?

Because I have no idea what you are talking about. Lay off the weed.

i'm talking about the measures of the new normal.
Last year:

  • we didn't wear masks.
  • we didn't practice social distancing.

What's different this year?
How many people ask questions?
These measures reduce our liberties so

  • they have the burden of proof.
  • they have the responsibility to offer us the proof for their measures.

What's the proof?
