>I feel very insecure about my extremely lacking artistic ability
anon if you spend any amount of time here (dont) you'll find that this is one of the most common issue among artists and that there's no magical way around it other than to just suck it up and draw regardless. If there were an easy solution we'd all be practicing art instead of complaining about how miserable it is';

>To have creative impulses and never act on them?
You get overcome with a strange sorrow that porn, video games, marathoning anime and injecting drugs can't quite fix.
Going to work feels like the wrong choice in life even though having an income is the most logical choice in life next to having a circle of close relatives and friends.
You look at people who chose an unreliable path but succeeded, who instead of doing pest control, grocery store work, answering phones or working for insurance companies, they are creating unique and beautiful things from the comfort of a studio or their own home.
Nietzsche called this phase in life the re-valuation of values, where you reconsider everything you once put value into and considered whether or not it's what you truly want, or what you're pressured into.';

If i could do anything for a living i would choose art.

The issue of course beijg that it's an insane thing to say on my skill level(practically non-existant).

I don't have any issues with working a regular job rn since even when i have mountains of free time i end up wasting it. I'm currently trying to save up enough where i would be able to comfortably neet for a year. I'll also try to get better at art in the downtime.

I think i've decided fairly definitevely that out of all things it's what i care the most.
That being said i should probably close the tab off and go draw. Just like >>7146154 says.

Also reminds me of the Sam Hyde talk where he says that if you're doing anything non-standard you'll have to live like a bug to make it';

I'm surprised JP hasn't said a thing on AI, especially ChatGPT, given his whole schtick on telling the truth and writing as a powerful tool to change the world. Seems like everything that he'd hate, but no, he's veered into right wing politics';

'>>7146166
He only ever talked about it in terms of how it's used to fuck with free speech and how it could very easily be repurposed into a watchman type entity for the cybersphere, which is true albeit a bit far fetched.';

he's right, but I thought he'd be all over it, but he's barely touched it.';

Truth. Everyone else is hemorrhaging money to impress hot narcissists when they should be planning to survive the next ten years. Things are getting expensive. Soon it will cost 500k to even get a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom home. The window is closing. Not closed yet, but getting smaller.';

It's the right thing to do if you want to build discipline. Set a time when you draw, ignore all shit your brain wants, then show up once the time comes and draw. Same with other things - plan shit in advance, show up and do it, fuck those impulses.
Acting on your impulses won't kill you, but it will teach your brain to operate on impulses only, which sucks.
Also JP is a very troubled man himself and is in no position to give life advice (also fuck him for his selfharm take).';

'Anyone here can report on whether drawing had a positive impact on life (even without monetary incentives)?

I used to draw daily for 2 hours after work and more on weekends and it definitely helped me with depressions. I had something to do, not much time to think. Had to make the best with the little free time I had an art was the activity that filled it. Also working out.

I improved a little... yet in the end I scatterbrained into another hobby, which I rather regret (now I am /beg/ at 2 things).';

typical retard US politics, "muh enemy hates it so I gotta love it to own 'em."
on a meta-level being AI is an inherently conservative position since it will erode tradition and create a Orwellian nanny state where history will be re-written daily.
At least Tucker seems to get it.';

>To have creative impulses and never act on them?
it's like being constipated. if you've got creative impulses act on them, even if it's a little each day.
I put my creative impulses off for years for "practical things" and regret it';

'>>7148188
No I think it has to do with not being able to have what you want. We are children throwing tantrums';

>who? what does this mean?';

'>>7148188
yeah for me it's this >>7149095. i lost my mind over not being able to draw what i wanted, quit, took up ai thinking it was the answer, realized how boring and unfun it was to never get exactly what i wanted, and now i'm back to art, and throwing tantrums over not being able to get the image in my head onto the canvas. shit sucks';
