You know a culture is pathetic when they consider artistic and human development useless.kuraimen

[QUOTE="surrealnumber5"][QUOTE="-Sun_Tzu-"] JK Rowland seems to be doing that just fine.-Sun_Tzu-

[QUOTE="-Sun_Tzu-"][QUOTE="surrealnumber5"] niche market already filled. i am not against people who want to be authors, but if no one wants to buy, that is not the failure of society as krugmen was saying.surrealnumber5

[QUOTE="ChampionoChumps"][QUOTE="kuraimen"] In other words everything is subordinate to a concept of productivity and progress. Exactly why I think this system is a failure. It subordinates even human, spiritual and artistic development to production. We have our priorities all backwards.kuraimen

Ok:roll: people don't want to have vanities in these times, they want ot have actual, tangible things. No one cares about art or poetry when they are starving. Not that the situation has gotten that bad, but when you have an oversaturated market of mediocre artists who all they have for their name is a signed piece of paper then they probably won't make a good living.

[QUOTE="surrealnumber5"][QUOTE="-Sun_Tzu-"] Niche market? Harry Potter is arguably the most popular book series of the past decade. People of all ages, cultures, ect have either read the novels/seen the movies or are at least familiar with the story. JK Rowland wrote her books for an incredibly broad and diverse audience. In no way could it be considered niche. -Sun_Tzu-

Only the good artists/authors/sculptors make the money.

[QUOTE="-Sun_Tzu-"]

[QUOTE="surrealnumber5"] it is absolutely niche, there is only one harry potter, there are so few books that make huge impacts. "Heres where Googles engineering talent comes into play. The company used countless algorithms to determine and discard duplicates in an effort that required more than 150 pieces of metadata related to the worlds books to evaluate whether each book record was unique or a duplicate of another. Analyzing this data resulted in 210 million unique books. " of those 210 million books, how many do you even know of? the number of books that are successful is a silly low fraction. pointing to the exception and making it the rule is a fools errand ChampionoChumps

I agree with that list. Sucks for people that aren't good at math and sciences though. Luckily I find that stuff awesome so I knew what I wanted to do.

[QUOTE="-Sun_Tzu-"][QUOTE="ChampionoChumps"] Then those people aren't very good at making money, are they?ChampionoChumps

Are you implying that the aesthetical qualities of art can be objectively judged

[QUOTE="ChampionoChumps"][QUOTE="-Sun_Tzu-"] Which would mean that creative talent =/= making money, contrary to what you originally said. -Sun_Tzu-

[QUOTE="rawsavon"]I would much rather have someone confront me on my sh*t than be a wallflower-Sun_Tzu-

[QUOTE="-Sun_Tzu-"][QUOTE="ChampionoChumps"] That, in no way, contradicts what I originally said. If some people don't find your work good then they won't buy it. If they find it so bad that they buy it as a joke, it's still good. If it's awful and no one buys it then it's bad; but that does not mean if you make excellent artwork, that anyone will buy it.ChampionoChumps

I don't see how architecture is useless. Unless we're talking bachelor's degrees that is... You need a Master's to do anything with architecture.Guppy507

Not true. You only need a Bachelor's degree from an accredited program, internship for a few years, then take the licensing exams. The problem is most arch. graduates don't get their license, so they stay draftsmen forever.

I'm confused on a few, like history, couldn't you use that to get a job as a high school teacher, or a college professor, or some kind of muesem job, or someting on history channel?

Bardock47

Legitimate history teachers can't get a job on the History Channel. You need a degree from a less than reputable college, a weird haircut, and a penchant for alien conspiracy theories to work on the History Channel.

Man, I've seen that pic so many times! WHO is him? Does he even know he's face is so overused in forums? LOL

[QUOTE="kuraimen"][QUOTE="ChampionoChumps"] No we don't, you don't understand basic humanity.surrealnumber5

People are not "family" creatures they are social creatures like all the research ever since even Darwin shows. According to Robin Dunbar our cognitive capacities let us create close relationships with groups of up to 300 people (and no they can't be all "family" since that would destroy the species quickly with imbreeding). That we have larger groups now doesn't mean those basic instincts are dead or should be changed. By renouncing everything that promotes that type of behavior we are not making living with more people easier but harder since we are flatening our social instincts in favor of production processes. Any scientist that study this will say such a thing but don't expect a stupid ideology like those that come from people like Ayn Rand or Margareth Tatcher to understand any of this, they are so stupid that the only way the could interpret Darwin was with the survival of the fittest crap which he never even said, Darwin clearly said we are succesful cooperators and that we became humans thanks to this. The ones who look stupid are those that try to pass ideology for science or human understanding.

It seems that anything not S.T.E.M.-based is stupid and saturated nowadays. At least that's what they would tell you at a technology school.

[QUOTE="surrealnumber5"][QUOTE="kuraimen"] And you do? I have a master degree in cognitive science I've been studying human development and cognitive processes for quite some time now. Let me guess, you're going to give me the economic/Ayn Rand version of humanity: "Humans are selfish creatures who are out there to take care of themselves and their close ones only. We function thanks to a "survival of the fittest" algorithm and anything that questions this is socialism and, therefore, evil.". That is not only poor theory but poor theory from the 50s/60s.kuraimen

I wouldn't call film useless, well if it means learning about television production and other forms of media anyway; two of my friend's landed a job in London in TV studios i.e. Prime Focus and some small starter company. One who didn't even get fully through a foundation degree (because he found the job). You just need the drive to seek work experience whilst on the degree. Keep looking and you'll get there eventually.
