Modern art kicks rear end, and IMO art as a whole didn't really get interesting until Dada. Nerds just like to poo poo on modern art because they have to feel superior about their STEM degrees.

Randler posted:What's more pretentious: Modern art or modern (molecular) cooking? Trick question: molecular gastronomy is, in fact, an act of artistic creation.  (no, I don't actually believe this). Pretension is difficult to nail down, and probably has more to do with users/commentators than creators.

I mean honesty in retrospect I would probably have done the same thing over again but I think the discipline re: physical fitness and the teamwork aspect would have been good to get earlier in my life.

Nothin' beats dynamite. But yeah my imagination fucks up simple things like wishing in the mornings that I could stop time so I could sleep longer before I go to work and then ten minutes later I'm thinking about how to build a life around robbing time-stopped banks in a way that wouldn't draw suspicion from the IRS.

Also if you stopped time you probably couldn't see because photons wouldn't be moving but maybe if you walked forward then you could see but I don't know how fast photons have to be going in order for your retina to detect them or if that even matters.
