@Pabloesc571 No they don't they're stuck in it because it's very severe.

Of course they're seeking fame and recognition, that's how you become wealthy. Why would a person with an artistic nature, a person who's mind craves creativity and inspiration, ever want to work for a living? Working is for the fucking birds. It's heartbreakingly tedious and soul-crushing. But, you can buy THINGS that prove you're better than everybody else! Look at "Joe", he's HARD-WORKING, look how big his house is, he has a later-model BMW, and he always has the latest smartphone. Why would an artist ever care about that shit? You have to become famous to become wealthy so you aren't stuck in the futile, tedious grind of working for a living just to brag about stupid material possessions. Artists are primarily motivated by love for what they produce, not what they consume, so working like a dog just to buy things probably isn't the primary drive in their lives like it is for normal people.

Well put! I could say the same thing about How Far Shallow Takes You, from the Canadian punk band Gob. Very dark and brooding, but incredibly well-done.

If you consider thinking/cognition to be receiving information, storing it and recognizing patterns and/or processing information based on logic and reason, then YES--computers certainly can think. It's just that computers cannot wonder, they can't be curious or creative in the human sense because they don't have any imagination. We use computers because they're ultra-fast for certain kinds of thinking, but they do not have insight or any sort of creativity or imagination since they're pure logic machines. Human minds are not--we're much more versatile than that. So, computers have their uses and they're very fast, but their ability to think is as limited as it is fast.

@dannygjk Probably yes, but what I'm getting at is that computers today do not have the ability to arbitrarily conceive possibilities and place human value on the subjective experience of pursuing them. In other words, computers have no imagination.

It's not just artists. I live in Canada, which brags about being the greatest country in the world, and people here are MISERABLE. I don't think I've ever met anyone in my life that hasn't had ECT, and life is tedious and insanely expensive.

Yeah, no shit. I've spend 35 years depressed, the last 20 of them PROFOUNDLY depressed. Some of it came from school, but most of it came from being trapped in a job. Fuck working for a living.

@Godshonestruth I'm not religious. My screen name comes from my fondness for the American punk rock band called The Offspring. I am NOT a Satanist, I like music :)

@Godshonestruth I can't pray to anyone because I'm an atheist. I can't "try" to believe because I'm an atheist. There's no god to "save" me because I'm an atheist. I have absolutely nothing against religion, contrary to what some people might think. There's nothing inherently wrong with believing in a creator, a supernatural consciousness of some kind or another, no matter what word you would use to describe it. It's a human instinct, but not everyone has it and that's almost impossible to explain to people who do. What I always hear is that I "need" Jesus, not I don't because I'm not a Christian, even though I was kind of raised to be one and I've thought about it a lot. I don't need to "pray harder" because there's nothing for me to pray to. There's nothing wrong with that, either.

That's fine and dandy if you know where to get shrooms. Not everyone has the connections for that.

Wrong. Exercise does not treat depression, never has and never will. It will just make you feel angry and want to kill somebody.

It doesn't matter which one he took because it doesn't work the same in everyone. I've been on numerous antidepressants and none of them ever did anything at all except for side effects. Some of them work well for other people though.

He's not 22 years old so it's probably unrealistic for him to look particularly good, let alone stylish or "hot." He probably has other things on his mind besides his appearance. Young people are concerned with appearance. Middle aged ones rarely are unless they're considered extraordinarily attractive, but it's starting to fade for most people in their late 20s to early 30s with very few exceptions. Rick is almost 60 and I doubt his appearance is a major concern, especially with the kind of money he's made! He has better things to concern himself with :)

Not if you find running or other physical activity horribly boring and tedious. I loved cycling as a young kid, can't stand it now. I'm in bad shape these days, but I hate being physically active now. It bores the fuck out of me and makes me angry. Riding around on a bike isn't big-time fun for me like when I was a little kid. It's hard work, it's exhausting and it's a total drag, that's why engines/motors were invented. If you think physical activity "cures" depression then you've obviously never had severe depression.
1
@inpropagation I'm in bad shape but not horrible shape compared to many people half my age (I'm 47.) Physical exercise is boring, tedious mundane drivel and that's all there is to it. It's great for your physical health but horribly boring and tedious for the mind. Trying to "commit" to a life of physical exertion as a so-called "lifestyle" is just lying to yourself if you're over about 12 or 13 years old, when physical exertion such as cycling, running, swimming etc. just becomes depressing, grueling, heartbreakingly tedious bullshit. Physical activity for your entire life is best suited to people with low IQs who can tolerate physical activity when they are adults. It does absolutely NOT help with depression. It makes it MUCH worse by giving you enough energy to be physically violent! People who claim exercise, diet, popularity, and ESPECIALLY religion are the cure for depression are totally full of shit.
1
Yeah, it's nice to know that a famous person who's rich and famous is miserable, that means I'm REALLY screwed.
1
Because when you have severe depression, physical activity will make you feel MISERABLE. It will make you angry as fuck and make you want to kill people. D'uh.

Apparently it's pretty rare for artists to enjoy their own art. I mean, they like to create it and perform it, but for something like recorded music, they rarely listen to their own albums. No point when they actually perform it.
1
Yes it does. If you have to work for a living you're probably fucked.
1
Nonsense, it's the exact opposite. Depression creates nothing and only destroys.
1
@JoJoJoker Not only that though. An enthusiastic and driven artist has the potential to be a great artist. An artist who's severely depressed will not be able to function at their creative peak. It's a common misconception that to be fully, truly creative and to create art that is very moving and authentic, an artist must be miserable. That's total bullshit. It's actually the other way around. People create GOOD art to celebrate life, not just to tolerate it.
