The most important question you can ask yourself is 'what is it that I really like' (not should, not what do others want me to like) and then focus your attention on that

The one commodity we all have that everyone wants is our attention... It should be as valuable to you as it is to social media/your phone/the political party pushing a cycle of perpetual outrage

Surrendering control brings people together... Art is trying to create those moments where we surrender ourselves

Brian talks about the moments we hang on to as humans as exceptional moments...they are about surrendering control (sex, drugs, rollercoasters etc) rather than the control which society values so much

Brian adds that doing something together (singing a song) etc is what builds the community

Bette talks about how art builds community... But as an artist it's difficult to know what art will do it... It's not as easy as get an artist to write a song about equality and then people will like it and there'll be more equality.

This sort of error isn't going to be what makes me pass, but it does tell me something about you and what working with you might be like.

I haven't been able to turn it off. I'm updated but it's not in the menu (i hate how the help info insists it's there). However, my subscription renews in a couple of weeks and I went to cancel and it offered me the classic package with no AI instead so I only have a couple more weeks to suffer
