i have been thinking about doing a painting on how people are similar to insects and how some people have an image that they uphold and spend time on it before they leave the house in the morning. like a kind of gift wrap or onion skin. maybe do a painting of insects in cellophane, or really big insects with ribbon tied around them. how do i make this idea interdisciplinary?
why do i put make up on in the morning? because it makes me feel more confident.
why do i put clothes on in the morning? because it is cold outside. if i defeated the idea of cold. why do i put clothes on in the morning? to stop people from staring at my body parts, to avoid the conversation of 'why have you no clothes on?' so i don't get arrested for inecency. so people don't laugh at me. basically to avoid confrontation and embaressment. why would i feel em barest?
following a routine that you think you are trapped in...
- maybe paint a large insect on a map. yes. what other things follow a routine? computers. binary. soildiors. most people with 9-5's most people with kids. kids that go to school.
why is there such a need for routine?
mental security? predictability has its possessive points.
what is non-routine?
answers.com gave me this answer... A routine is a sequence of actions regularly followed. Non-routine would be something you wouldn't do at all regularly. My evening routine is home by six and dinner on
the table by seven. Sleeping late is not or non routine in my family.
routine is someone banging a drum to the time of music. rituals are routines. what if i routinely at 6pm everyday did something completely spontaneous?
i think sometimes routine makes me feel safe and comforted, but also it bores me and i have to go find a vice. once the vice has been experienced i might just go back to the routine.
watches are routine. until the moment when the stop working and then they are routinely not working.
i am loitering over something paula said the other week, it went something like 'do be afraid to make aesthetically beautiful things' it made me think about it and i think i might have been avoiding making beautiful things because i think when something is beautiful other aspects of it can be overseen and not so pungent. but then when something is not beautiful at all it might be overseen completely and ignored.
i'm still very interested in the subject of nihilism.
ni·hil·ism (n   -l z m, n -)
n.
1. Philosophy
a. An extreme form of skepticism that denies all existence.
b. A doctrine holding that all values are baseless and that nothing can be known or communicated.
2. Rejection of all distinctions in moral or religious value and a willingness to repudiate all previous theories of morality or religious belief.
3. The belief that destruction of existing political or social institutions is necessary for future improvement.
4. also Nihilism A diffuse, revolutionary movement of mid 19th-century Russia that scorned authority and tradition and believed in reason, materialism, and radical change in society and government through terrorism and assassination.
5. Psychiatry A delusion, experienced in some mental disorders, that the world or one's mind, body, or self does not exist.

Nihilism (
/ˈnaɪ.ɨlɪzəm/ or /ˈniː.ɨlɪzəm/; from the Latin nihil, nothing) is the philosophical doctrine suggesting the negation of one or more putatively meaningful aspects oflife. Most commonly, nihilism is presented in the form of existential nihilism which argues that life is without objective meaning, purpose, or intrinsic value.[1] Moral nihilistsassert that morality does not inherently exist, and that any established moral values are abstractly contrived. Nihilism can also take epistemological, metaphysical, orontological forms, meaning respectively that, in some aspect, knowledge is not possible, or that contrary to popular belief, some aspect of reality does not exist as such.

The term nihilism is sometimes used in association with anomie to explain the general mood of despair at a perceived pointlessness of existence that one may develop upon realizing there are no necessary norms, rules, or laws.[2] Movements such as Futurism and deconstruction,[3] among others, have been identified by commentators as "nihilistic" at various times in various contexts.
Nihilism is also a characteristic that has been ascribed to time periods: for example, Jean Baudrillard and others have called postmodernity a nihilistic epoch,[4] and someChristian theologians and figures of religious authority have asserted that postmodernity[5] and many aspects of modernity[3] represent a rejection of theism, and that such a rejection entails some form of nihilism.
do i have to have a job and a boyfriend and kids to be a respected person? who am i seeking this respect from?
- maybe a painting of the bottom of a boot, with a squished human on it.
- maybe a human distorted into the shape of the underside of a boot, or footprint.
Moral nihilism, also known as ethical nihilism, is the meta-ethical view that morality does not exist as something inherent to objective reality; therefore no action is necessarily preferable to any other. For example, a moral nihilist would say that killing someone, for whatever reason, is not inherently right or wrong. Other nihilists may argue not that there is no morality at all, but that if it does exist, it is a human and thus artificial construction, wherein any and all meaning is relative for different possible outcomes. As an example, if someone kills someone else, such a nihilist might argue that killing is not inherently a bad thing, bad independently from our moral beliefs, only that because of the way morality is constructed as some rudimentary dichotomy, what is said to be a bad thing is given a higher negative weighting than what is called good: as a result, killing the individual was bad because it did not let the individual live, which was arbitrarily given a positive weighting. In this way a moral nihilist believes that all moral claims are false.
no action is necessarily preferable to any other
fuck the <enter organisation/ authority figure/ politician here>
i have come across this problem before of 'how do i display things like this in a visual way'
i am very tempted to take things that have in societies eyes larger negative weighting compared to possessive and replace things that are the opposite. although value comes into this immensely.
value is relative.
value is opinion.
value is mass opinion?
In ethics, value is a property of objects, including physical objects as well as abstract objects (e.g. actions), representing their degree of importance.
Ethic value denotes something's degree of importance, with the aim of determining what action or life is best to do or live (Deontology), or at least attempt to describe the value of different actions (Axiology). It may be described as treating actions themselves as abstract objects, putting value to them. It deals with right conduct and good life, in the sense that a highly, or at least relatively highly, valuable action may be regarded as ethically "good" (adjective sense), and an action of low, or at least relatively low, value may be regarded as "bad".
What makes an action valuable may in turn depend on the ethic values of the objects it increases, decreases or alters. An object with "ethic value" may be termed an "ethic or philosophic good" (nounsense).
Normative ethics is the study of ethical action. It is the branch of philosophical ethics that investigates the set of questions that arise when considering how one ought to act, morally speaking. Normative ethics is distinct from meta-ethics because it examines standards for the rightness and wrongness of actions, while meta-ethics studies the meaning of moral language and the metaphysics of moral facts. Normative ethics is also distinct from descriptive ethics, as the latter is an empirical investigation of people’s moral beliefs. To put it another way, descriptive ethics would be concerned with determining what proportion of people believe that killing is always wrong, while normative ethics is concerned with whether it is correct to hold such a belief. Hence, normative ethics is sometimes said to be prescriptive, rather than descriptive. However, on certain versions of the meta-ethical view called moral realism, moral facts are both descriptive and prescriptive at the same time.
Broadly speaking, normative ethics can be divided into the sub-disciplines of moral theory and applied ethics. In recent years the boundaries between these sub-disciplines have increasingly been dissolving as moral theorists become more interested in applied problems and applied ethics is becoming more profoundly philosophically informed.
Traditional moral theories rest on principles that determine whether an action is right or wrong. Classical theories in this vein include utilitarianism, Kantianism, and some forms of contractarianism. These theories offered overarching moral principles to use to resolve difficult moral decisions.
15(ish) things that could be considered insignificant/unimpotant/high negative weighting/un valuable:
- people on benefits.
- dirt

15(ish) things that could be considered significant/impotant/high possetive weighting/ valuable:
- gold
- intellegence
- qualifications
- charm
- tv's
- clothing
- water
- food
- conversation
- light/heat/energy
- electricity
- rockets
- career with a comparitively high yearly income

- freedom
- transport
- exersize
- healthy eating
so basically i have just listed things that some people find important and others don't, the list might aswell not exsist becuase it's about what a person thinks. to be productive i need to ask individual people of what the think is important...
- binary, but instead of binary make the 0's look like Beatles and the 1 look like a stick insect for example. then laser cut into a massive piece of paper (use illustrator to create the design).
