According to postmodernism, AI is also a valid artist.

My kind of European.
The taste!
Modern art is tacky
No, wait, that’s history.

Is atheism killing fine art?

On the right tab of more articles, plenty of papers on neuroaesthetics.

Beauty is real.
Neuroaesthetics is an emerging discipline within cognitive neuroscience that is concerned with understanding the biological bases of aesthetic experiences. These experiences involve appraisals of natural objects, artifacts, and environments. Because aesthetic encounters are common in everyday life, exploration of their biological bases can deepen our understanding of human behavior in important domains such as mate selection, consumer behavior, communication, and art. We review recent evidence showing that aesthetic experiences emerge from the interaction between sensory–motor, emotion–valuation, and meaning–knowledge neural systems. Neuroaesthetics draws from and informs traditional areas of cognitive neuroscience including perception, emotion, semantics, attention, and decision-making. The discipline is at a historical inflection point and is poised to enter the mainstream of scientific inquiry.
There are interesting findings about the amygdala’s novelty trigger and about aesthetic expertise in the brain.
Whatever, evolution.

At this point, I am totally showing off.
Maybe Vox Day’s Time to Civilization concept would be best applied to tools and jewelry evolution?
I’d say coins but we literally invented numismatics. The Goddess Moneta’s temple was literally opposite the ancient mint. [Some sources claim in the Temple but it was all generally the same sacred space.]
God’s work
Working hard and doing doing great work is as imperative as breathing. Creating great work warms the heart and enriches the soul. Those of us lucky enough to spend our days doing something we love, something we’re good at, are rich. If you do not work passionately (even furiously) at being the best in the world at what you do, you fail your talent, your destiny, and your God. – George Lois

“For the Levallois technique, the toolmaker takes an oblong, relatively flat flint nodule and strikes flakes off the thinner sides of the core all the way around its circumference. She then flips the nodule over and strikes flakes off its front side, then flips it again to do the same on the back. Finally, and after a lot of such preparation, the toolmaker strikes one end of the core to remove a large and distinctive “Levallois flake” off its front. By design, the edge of the Levallois flake will follow the contours of previous flake scars, creating a very nice, thin, and predictably shaped tool.”
Women own the domain of art, men veer toward cookery, carpentry, ballistics.
Women were the original cave-painters too. They finally measured the palms. Facts are hard for sexist idiots.
They act like ancient man had thousands of hours per week and the women just sat around…. knitting.
The women made these things for everyone to enjoy once the men returned.
To deny female creativity is practically to deny one’s own birth.
It isn’t even a feminist thing in the old sense, it’s mathematics.
It’s like when they try to claim the Scientific Revolution was a sausage fest. Certainly there were more men (because women were physically banned from Universities) but it was much more a matter of class (there were high-born men and high-born women and barely a whit of difference between them).
The problem with feminism
The status signalling men.
I have ruined other paintings if anyone is interested.
Hitler and Wotan, God of the Dead
I thought this might be of cursory interest, considering all the discussion of Hitler/Trumpform recently.
Jung noticed this topic, too.
If you’re going to compare people to literally Hitler, perhaps you should research and educate yourself that Hitler might not have been Hitler at all.

“There is, however, a second use by Jung of this term “Jewish psychology“.
It has another implication.Here, he is referring to systems of psychology developed by Jews such as Freud and Adler, systems that claim universal applicability and truth.Such a psychology is a “leveling psychology” (Jung’s words), in that it undermines the idea that there are psychological differences between groups of peoples, such as nations.”
Psychology is the scientific study of differences, comparing psychometric data from the independent variable/s, it is impossible to conduct psychology as a science without that fact. Imagine a doctor who is unable to tell the well from the sick, let alone why. Science must be objective, but not universal.
Yet much of modern psychology prefers to bolster a fairytale narrative that we are all the same, the definition of anti-science when the purpose of said science is to discern distinctions, and it is unsurprising these ‘studies’ cannot be replicated.
However, in the “Erwiderung auf Dr. Bally”, Jung says: “I must confess my total inability to understand why it should be a crime to speak of Jewish psychology.”
This is quite true, in parts. It may be conspiratorial, depending on whether you believe in prophecies, demonic/spiritual influences and the like, but the painting mentioned is real and you can follow on from there.
I love telling people where to find the dark things online.
Nothing evil, but forbidden things like the Nazi discussions on otherwise social justice tumblr.
