...Yeah, because people definitely always mean things like this when they say them."Dalí always boasted: 'I'm impotent, you've got to be impotent to be a great painter'," the biographer said.

Claude Shannon, Inventor of the Information Age
Probably ILI.

“In these days, when there is a tendency to specialize so closely, it is well for us to be reminded that the possibilities of being at once broad and deep did not pass with Leonardo da Vinci or even Benjamin Franklin. Men of our profession — we teachers — are bound to be impressed with the tendency of youths of strikingly capable minds to become interested in one small corner of science and uninterested in the rest of the world. . . . It is unfortunate when a brilliant and creative mind insists upon living in a modern monastic cell.”
Yesss. Especially ride unicycles, play the clarinet, and write poetry.
I'm not sure what screams ILI about being one of the few scientists who isn't a monk with no life though.
I always thought of unicycles as an alpha thing
same with other quirky shit like ukeleles (although maybe some delta NF overlap)
That Time David Bowie Wore a Dress, Just Because
Bowie, in a show of testicular fortitude that probably went a long way to explaining why he preferred to wearing a loose-fitting dress with ample room to house his balls, even wore one while walking around Texas. As Bowie would later recall in an interview, the reaction from people on the streets of Texas weren’t entirely kind and he was repeatedly harassed, mocked and jeered at by dumpy, insecure Texan men with terrible calf definition and what we assume were just microscopic penises. The worst reaction though came from a man who took such offence to the sight of the most beautiful man in the world gliding across the pavement wearing a silky gown that he pulled out a fucking gun and pointed it at Bowie’s face before calling him a “fag” to really sell that whole “southern hospitality” thing they talk about so much down there. Bowie, without missing a beat, looked at the guy and said “I think I look beautiful” before calmly walking away.

"He just manages to find the buttons to push."
Every new generation that finds its way into art school is taught new reasons to hate him. A leading Dali dealer I know told me how much it amuses him to see young Dali fans who start out liking him, only to "learn" that they're not supposed to like him when they get to college and grow in sophistication.... And the large crowds just won't go away. Must be galling for those who teach college kids that the drippings of Jackson Pollock are infinitely superior.Orwell (a favorite writer of mine) died in 1950. He tended to change his mind, though, and he might have revised his thinking had he known that Dali was also known for reversing his positions, eventually coming to fancy himself a savior "destined for nothing less than to rescue painting from the void of modern art."
I used to think I was too cool for Dali then I loved a woman who sincerely liked Dali and realized I was just being a tool and not just about Dali but art in general sometimes
Dali inasmuch as he creates a confrontation of that kind within the self is a cut above other artists in a profound way
This is how you breathe while singing, and, I've heard, how women in labor have to breathe while they're giving birth. Do this now 10/10. But call it diaphragmatic breathing since that sounds technical and fancy instead of cutesy and mostly meant for pregnant women who are also in the age range where they love Facebook, but don't know how to text or tweet.
Don't join Mensa and ignore the book advertisement, and don't go around calling yourself a Renaissance wo/man without having at least modest accomplishments (at least a patent or two? I don't know) or you'll get people on the Internet telling stories about what an idiot you are, but even the inventor of IQ considered it something people can improve so I approve of this post.
Also, "brain training games" are stupid, so don't read the comments or you'll actually lose IQ.
