Art is exploration of design space

It may sound sour, art reduces to that. So what's design space? One could say it's the world of the possible. Does that accept too many things? So what. Believe art, just like science has come to live in an ivory tower for the common guy. And it shouldn't be the case. It's false that art need to endure or be recorded. Art is about learning outside our conventions. That's why some things are artsy and some are true testimonies of someone was here. As I grow up I learn about the two seemingly opposites phenomena of developing a connoisseur palate. You get to discard a lot of things, because it's more of what you know. Maybe if I read Today, Asimov's Foundation, I wouldn't respect it so much. Yet, when I was young, that book was a marvel. It explored the great idea of psycho-history. To this day, I want sociology to grow up to that way... Now scifi focus not just on conceptual novels, a la Niven, it tries to emphasize character development. And that's the second thing, you get to discern, the relevancy of what you have already explored. That's subtle sense. Though I read long ago Poe's "The Pit and the Pendulum", I spent many years without realizing what the heck people see in that book... Luckily tastes develops. So art isn't just the new things, is the things that transforms you. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, next gen.

Táctica y Estrategia

Sorry to anyone who doesn't know Spanish, you are losing something important. This is from Mario Benedetti.

Mi táctica es
mirarte
aprender como sos
quererte como sos

mi táctica es
hablarte
y escucharte
construir con palabras
un puente indestructible

mi táctica es
quedarme en tu recuerdo
no sé cómo ni sé
con qué pretexto
pero quedarme en vos

mi táctica es
ser franco
y saber que sos franca
y que no nos vendamos
simulacros
para que entre los dos
no haya telón
ni abismos

mi estrategia es
en cambio
más profunda y más
simple
mi estrategia es
que un día cualquiera
no sé cómo ni sé
con qué pretexto
por fin me necesites.

To Will, To Know, To Dare, To Be Silent

expect the posts to change... this ain't a normal blog... so an old article could change position, as updates are made...

Every Man and Every Woman Is a Star

I swear I'll eventually write down, for now, I'll just keep the slots...

Do as you will

As you may have figured, this blog will update previous or the same entry without much notification... They serve as placeholder in some instances.

Do as you will

Notice I have left out the "Love under will" bit. Why? Because that part hasn't sparkled yet for me. (To be continued)

Truth shall set you free

A fresh start =) Just wanna start with a simple but powerful, while leaving the pattern I want to weaver here.

Truth shall set you free

---

Here I shall tell why I believe here is a shard of Truth, why I take it so serious and maybe an anecdote of story of how I came to meet it.... (that's when I have more time...)

My lojban isn't anywhere near perfect, but I have learnt the power of structures. So this phrase I understand it as 4 words, Truth, will, free, you. I use Truth to mean the basic fabric of reality. In other words, I believe that reality is beyond my perception. Notice than by that definition I'm parting away from the Christian root. That phrase meant that Jesus was the saviour, I don't think so.
I believe everyone of us are born free, and in fact we are doomed to be that way for all our lives. Don't remember from whom I get that quote... Anyway. So if we are already free, what's the point of that phrase? That we have a tendency to believe what we want. So you can have your Quiet or you can continually test your world. Even more, that phrase isn't just an advice, I believe some people would just continue to be pushed by reality, so in a form, this phrase is as real as 1+1=2. Meaning, even if you don't want, Truth will keep you free. You can grow bitter for Life not going the way you like, that's your problem.
So by now one can probably see several consequences. First, one needs to reason that if you don't take hold of your life, you are still responsible for it. Maybe that's why Buddhism tells you to always know about your breath-in/breath-out. Second, there's no excuse to have regrets or lies in your life. It's pointless. Uhm, all that shall be more explained in my next post, the Thelema one.
