The Heirarchy

submitted 70 days ago • 1 comment

The Mona Lisa, a superb forgery and a high quality print. Though they're identical, the original is worth more than the others because we attach value to authenticity and originality, not just to a superficial surface-aesthetic. Ai images are never authentic nor original, hence they have zero value.

Carnforth Station This station doesn't always feature bare-knuckle gladiatorial games but turn up on a random Tuesday and you might be lucky. (Be careful around trains.) #carnforth #trainstation #lancashire #gladiators #gorillapress #fight #overheadlift #art #artwork #station @bsky.art #fighting

Unpopular opinion: you can't diagnose yourself with imposter syndrome because you can't genuinely believe you're an imposter and simultaneously know you're not. Anyone who claims to, is an imposter at least as far as they're claiming to have something which they might not have. Skeleton unrelated.
