“Talking past each other” is now the norm; culture is not a solution of molecules that can settle back down - how the crap do we unbake a cake?

This sounds like fluff: appreciating the art, style, aesthetic of the work/entity we are talking to should be #1 goal.

Engaging in the appreciation of art is to jettison our judgement of the subject to focus on the choices “why” and “how.”

I don’t know if this groks with anyone else....that’s kinda part of it too.

The prospect of work being judged by peers negatively is the pain amplifier on all our hands.

There are some of us out there - good people that are just broken.

Their path has made them feel it as if it’s on all the time, and they are as unstable and judgemental as they arw talented.

I have no idea how to fix the broken - I am just trying to paint myself whole again, one human interaction at a time.
