real art from artists

First of all, there is some truth in what he is saying. Humans are animals too, and as such we have a biological drive to procreate, as all animals do. There is a term of reproductive success which is a measure of offspring produced. Now, this is a way of understanding population dynamics.

But as humans, ofcourse we don’t feel it applies to us as we see ourselves as more than just animals. And ofcourse there are exceptions, not everyone wants to procreate, but this doesn’t override it for the majority. And there are further dynamics which go further than just offspring produced, so the picture becomes complex when you bring human nature into it.

All that is to say, he is using en existing term (kind of wrongly) to support his opinion. But he fails to see beyond it. And if he sees himself as an animal, ok, let us be humans. You shouldn’t concern yourself with this. This opinion, publicly stated, is unlikely to get him laid, thus defeating his self-attributed “worth”.

idk, this year was good… it introduced me to Katarsis, Lucio…

I could say, that attention for what? Just the way you look or act? Is there any value in that? What does that attention give you? Does it somehow indicate or elevate your value? And what does it say about you that you seek it out?

All that to say, what do you mean by the question and what are the underlying assumptions?

I don’t really want to stand out. I want to exceed my own expectations, but attention is not really something I want. My own perception of myself is not perfect, but I do value myself and I know I am capable. And I know others don’t always see it. But the answer to that is to entangle your self-worth from how others perceive you. Exist on your own, independent from the perception of others.

And I don’t want to compare myself to other women and point out how I am different. What’s the good in that? They are a person in themselves and so am I. We both have a complex human nature.

You have to take care of yourself, because noone else will. As in trust yourself, and don’t rely on others to act in your interests. Doesn’t mean act like an asshole, but this is what I have learned so far.

Also came to suggest Warframe, but u beat me to it :D yeah it’s slow to get going… but that’s the cool thing about it. You can drop it when it gets tedious and come back when you feel like it. Imho the long crafting times are good, it means you have to come back in 3 days and have something to look forward to. And instant gratification can get boring, so I really like the pacing.

Uncanny. Ghost encounters, hauntings, ufo sightings in UK. Expert opinions from skeptics and believers.

Dark Histories. Crime in Victorian-era Britain. Narrative of events. Quite funny at times.

Ghosts in the burbs. This one is… pumpkin spice latte, yuppies, cryptids, rich people problem vibes. Cozy and creepy.

Dark House. Famous spooky houses of America. Describes their history and architecture. Two hosts, but they keep the chit-chat to a minimum.

Silent Hill Radio. A varia of radio stories, suspense or creepy, sci-fi and horror. Could be recent, or from the 50’s. All good, quality can vary. Some stories are quite well known. Recommend episodes Israbel, Let me see your face, Ancient sorceries, Zero hour.

for paranormal… Rabbits is good, some alternate universe stuff. Tanis is similar to Rabbits. Alternate universe game.

Black Tapes, this is soo creepy at times. Not a night, you won’t sleep.

Added to my list, thanks for the rec.

Nomads and Empires. Quite like Fall of Civilisations, but shorter. On nomadic cultures.

The Ancients. On various topics, but mostly history, archeology, but also classical work of arts like Greek tragedies, etc.

Sidedoor, there is some historical stuff, but mostly on various topics. Smithsonian history museum podcast. Recommed The Lost Woolly Dog episode, such a wholesome episode on now-extinct breed of dog native to the N-American continent.

Lore, of course, it is folk tales and myths inspired by historical events. American folklore.

Dark Histories. This one is like Lore, but Victorian era Britain. It goes through prominent crimes in that era, gives a narrative of the events.

You must remember this. This one is about the history of films, Hollywood and the events behind them. If you’re into films, this is a good one. It goes through films by decades, analyses themes and topics, prominent actors, film makers and directors.

Shedunnit. If you’re into crime and mystery novels. Especially female writers from last century around when the genre was established. Again, a lot of history behind the evolution of the genre.

Creative Codex. This one is a gem. It is about creative geniuses, like fashion designers and musicians and writers and artists. The host examines their creations through various themes, contrasted by the authors biography. Really makes you appreciate the art when you know the context of the artists life behind it. All episodes are good, but Emily Dickinson is a good one and so is Alexander McQueen episodes. This is not history, but as it is art, it might be interesting nontheless.
