it's not a question of cultivation. other countries and cities have grants
and programs for difficult work; the end result of that is we should all
emulate Taylor Swift. the u.s. is notorious in its support of the arts,
but that's another and very related story.

Yes. Perhaps there is a question of cultivation? Might sound slightly
ironic, however how else can the aesthetics of success be
characterised when the process is that of refining ways to measure
the sense of being successful?
Might be mistaken, however, it seems that the difference between
getting ?0 per month while doing stuff that might be linked to art,
and not eating much, to doing the same stuff while getting ?10000 per
month and being able to flavour the food - is a translation of the
activities to measures that produce a binary scale of Yes done well =
reward & No = zilch reward.
The titanic GorillaPhant in the room is that when we get to art-linked
wonders, we kind of get into a stream of cultural sewage. Hence,
without a sort of Joycean sort of fetishisation, its still a bit of a
need akin to that of checking the toilette works OK from time to time..
Cheer and much ?0 fun!!

Love this - on the other hand, know too many people struggling to
make ends meet at all, so that music for example becomes a "hobby"
or "after-hours" thing. But what do I know? I can't even get a job,
and when Azure works a day at substitute teaching, she brings home a
whopping $65. It's rough. I used to work with Foofwa d'Imobilite -
for a good 20 years on and off - and he won't came back to the U.S.
at this point - dancers and choreographers just aren't paid unless
they're blue-chip, ballet, whatever. Most people struggling at the
bottom - no matter how good they are, how devoted, just stay there,
maybe give up. It's bad here. Look, we got maybe 9 rave reviews on
the Avatar Woman cd - and sold I think 15 copies in the first couple
of months (before most of the reviews) - after that, we've sold 3.
Three. In spite of the reviews. People expect their music for free
and not all of us are Taylor Swifts who can deal with $$ at the top
(last I heard she was worth 65 million). So for us, I told the
company to keep the $15; they spent more than that sending the
review copies out...
Fucking unbelievable.

Thanks for sharing!
Not sure the following exactly corresponds with the notion of
comments, however:
Indeed, with money, since it requires time to deal with, eg
counting the coins balanced on one's forehead, etc. - we lose
either time, or money, both, and gain sensations of
fear-over-freedom?
Perhaps a different way to sense these might be:
(CI) - as a Counted Intervals sense
(UCI) - as a UnCounted Intervals sense
(FFNC) - as a Fear From Not Counting sense
(FFA) - as a Freedom From Accounting sense
(FoF) - as a Fear of Freedom mix Freedom of Fear sense
(FF) - as a FearFreedom mix FreedomFear sense
<_-_> - as taking time operator
*< - as gaining time operator
|-| - as evolutionary entropy operator
|\->|| - as evolutionary complexity operator
If - as If
? - as a ?
Now perhaps there can be these kind of streams:
*< (CI)(FoF) ? If ? (FF)
(humm... this one is a bit dead actually.. Because of the (FF) that
contains a mix at the end..
Perhaps, might be more interesting if it was:
*< (FF)(FoF) ? If ? (CI)
ok..
Now, say there is the following stream:
(FFA) |-| ? (FF) <_-_> If
Perhaps these can begin a wave?
eg:
If (CI) ? (CI)>*<(FFA) ? If (FF)(FFA) >*< ?
Though I wonder how it might be if a stream like the following one
came along:
|-| ? |-| (UCI) if <_-_> ?
Perhaps this could cover the wave beginning?
------------------------------------
Yup, Perhaps uncounted and unaccounted for breathing, may be
perceived as an aggressive anti-social activity in a numericalised
world..?
Cheers and have much summer fun!
