basic maths and galloping horses

lemme climb back on top of my high hobby horse for a minute.

we need to start supporting each other proper. there are a lot of us about doing awesome things and loving other people's awesome things but being told and 'proven' by those who are not really about what we are about that it's impossible to stay awesome and free and caring and fed properly. some of those people are just selfish. some are not artists but businesspeople. some have vested interest in the sorry status quo. what they have in common is that they are NOT RELEVANT. they have nothing to teach us and they can't really stop us.


nothing is fucking impossible. we sending folks to fucking Mars.


there are a lot of people out there who are already on it, doing well and happy to share everything they know with whoever will listen. they know that there is no such thing as too many artists (by which I mean people really good at and dedicated to what they do). oversaturation is not possible because artists and audiences are the same people - the more artists there are the more audience there is.. basic maths.


only poets go to poetry nights, musicians to concerts, designers to desing festivals and there are only hackers at the hackspace ... you be getting my drift by now... and it's not a problem that other people won't. other people are NOT RELEVANT. almost every person who digs your work and wants to see you perform is, to some extent, what you are. they may not be able or even want to express it but it's part of their make-up. what many will call soul. all you need to do is find more people like you or who want to be like you or just love what you do and make them come to you. by going out to them, inviting them and supporting them. of course you can't support millions of people there is simply not enough time, but you should try. it's very simple if you give to community community grows and supports you better and so on. not many of us gets the concept because we have lived all our lives in places where all the richness created by communities has been confiscated by bankers, corporations and politicians and used to make them richer and more powerful. everyone can change it a tiny a little bit. if a lot of people get out of their arses and do their little bit and support each other they may start finding themselves less poor and dependent. it happens. look around. at the same time the system becomes a little weaker. every little hurts.

right. time to feed my household some phad thai

phad thai phad thai phad thai (which incidentally is the sound of galloping horses where I'm from)
