  • It may just be easier to get rich if you’re fucked in the head already. Risk avoidance? That’s the sign of a smart person, but most ways for a poor to become a rich are far more likely to fail than succeed. Empathy? Healthy, but that’d stop you from stepping on people on the way up.

    Especially as a writer, idk about other countries but the USA’s literacy levels are abysmal (half the population reads at a 10 year old’s level or worse!), so an idiot would have the largest audience.


  • The artist and the art are intrinsically intertwined. Lovecraft’s work (to use a less immediate example) has all of his fears, including racism, built into the bones of the stories. Skillet is fundamentally culty Christian types, once you understand that their more normal music takes on a creepy meaning.

    It’s possible to pull unintentional meaning from a work, we do it all the time, but that doesn’t mean the original intent should be disregarded. That idea is practically anti-art imo.
