Title: The Dreams of Art: A Critique of Capitalistic Aesthetics

Knock knock

let's prepare the next article for the blog. This time I will prefer to maintain more my style, my reasong and my words. Please correct the language and make shifts where it is required and maybe maintain a formal essay style -500 words or more?.  If you consider there are points to contribute, please do.

 So let's focus on the art and the applicability of good or bad. Sicne art is an abstract pleasure of how we perceive satisfactory aesthetics it can't be really broke into bad and good. Unfortunately? it is a subjective pleasure.

however, that is not what happening. being so well rooted to belong and imitation we have cultivated a common taste of art. Underneath i think one can find what one dreams. So there is the good, the bad and the evil dream of humanity.

 In the good dream, we wish and long for a good society, to achieve in synergy as a species. On the bad dream despair is lurking and it is either black and maybe the appeal for failure of the good dream. however, there is also the apathy dream (apathy for everyone else), the personal, parasite over the work of many and be the king, the ruler, the one who set the standards. Horrible, but this the dream that capitalistic societies create and manipulation feeds one way or another to each of us, and by us i mean those who have bowed at least once in the power of money, the power of societal recognition.

while our god maybe in the societal recognition, we can "buy" him, so our focus is again on the money.  So back to the evil, bad and good dream. The substances art is created and flavored from. However, in the past, taste was distinct. Good art tend to meant good ethics and good dream. Not strict rules, but directions. While the evil dream could not buy so much yet with such certaintity as it can now.

Well here we are, with and aesthetics fueled by greed, a hunger in a time where there most of us have plenty. Creating void in us, an artificial shortage in us. A "why not me", which countless times you spined and spitted it out , "why to me?", blaming god who didn't make you alone in this world, so other people have other opinions. Every time you ask is a step away from reality and a step into ego that can't exist in that reality building a fake one. The capitalistic from the start.

Stendhal syndrome is just a mind going free for a moment, from all the above shit. Euphoria just because someone put all the right info for someone else to grasp it. Common recognition of art reflects common values, common divine ideals, a reflection of god unnumbered forms. it involves through time and now it is our common hunger for "me".   

So how is it possible to have categorically good or bad art? You can not do that, except if there is an agreeable standard. There is none though. So why we talk for something that doesn’t exist.

Cause we need to fit and imitate.

it is a human trait the one that still follows the sun of human evolution, Art became bad or good on our fear to be left out. So why this became political? it has been done. Cause capitalism thrives on solution on the fears the system it self creates.

So the question is not if there is bad or good art. Quality stuff, high level or what. Why is it still allowed to bitch talk art? it is a sacrilige right?

In the end, my point is not that art should not be under critical filters that is good or bad. But the fact that if you have spend time conversing about good or bad art, you have been tainted by capitalism.

You should be aware, this taint is manipulating to neglect what is true. It makes you a hypocrite, our failure as specie.

Good luck

Title: The Dreams of Art: A Critique of Capitalistic Aesthetics

Art, in its purest form, is an abstract pleasure, a subjective interpretation of aesthetics that transcends the binary of good and bad. Yet, as social creatures rooted in belonging and imitation, we have cultivated a common taste in art. Beneath this shared aesthetic, one can discern the dreams of humanity: the good, the bad, and the apathetic.

The good dream is our collective aspiration for a harmonious society, a testament to our potential for synergy as a species. The bad dream, on the other hand, is a manifestation of our collective despair, a dark vision that emerges when the good dream seems unattainable. Then there's the apathetic dream, a parasitic vision of personal gain at the expense of others. This dream, unfortunately, is often nurtured by capitalistic societies, where the pursuit of wealth and societal recognition reigns supreme.

In such societies, societal recognition becomes a god that can be bought, shifting our focus back to money. Thus, the dreams that flavor our art are often influenced by capitalism. In the past, good art was associated with good ethics and the good dream. It wasn't bound by strict rules but guided by ethical and aesthetic directions. However, in our modern capitalist societies, the lines have blurred. The apathetic dream can now buy recognition with an unprecedented certainty.

Today, our aesthetics are fueled by greed, creating an artificial scarcity within us. We ask, "Why not me?" and spin it into "Why me?", blaming a god who didn't make us alone in this world. Each time we ask, we step away from reality and into an ego that builds a fake reality, and aligns out of symbiosis to the capitalistic reality.

The Stendhal Syndrome, a psychological phenomenon where individuals experience euphoria when exposed to art, can be seen as a momentary escape from this capitalistic art world. It's a moment of pure aesthetic appreciation, a testament to the power of art to transcend societal constraints.

Art reflects our common values and divine ideals. It evolves over time, mirroring the changes in our societal structures and collective dreams. Today, our art often reflects our collective hunger for individual recognition, a testament to the pervasive influence of capitalism.

So, can we categorically define good or bad art? Without an agreeable standard, it seems impossible. Yet, we continue to discuss good and bad art because of our inherent need to fit in and imitate. This need, a human trait that follows the sun of human evolution, has been exploited by capitalism, which thrives on providing solutions to the fears it creates.

The question, therefore, is not whether there is good or bad art, but why we continue to critique art in a way that often undermines its inherent value. Is it not sacrilege to degrade art, a manifestation of human creativity and expression?

In conclusion, critiquing art as good or bad is not the issue. The problem arises that such critiques are tainted by capitalism, when they serve to perpetuate a system that manipulates us into neglecting the truth to the security of fitting somewhere. This manipulation turns us into hypocrites, highlighting why we fail as a species.
