I get this soup whenever I have a cold, it kicks the shit out of it in one bowl.

Is it Hot and Sour soup? That stuff is amazing.

There's a little Chinese place close by. They have shockingly fresh food and they make an incredible hot/sour soup.

I haven't bought into any hype. I was simply stating that Das' art reminded me a little of Basquiat's work.

But then again i love Francis Bacon too.

I think it's cool that you have das but's painting in your home. From what I can tell you have a nice place and will display it well.

Oh, I think she has a pretty good background in it, actually. Problem is, much of Art History is bullshit. It's almost as bad as Religion.

MW.nli said:

It's value lies in the fact that it started a trend that became, well, trendy. It's as artistic as his wheel.

Dada is Doodoo. Artists were just fucking off, laughing up their sleeves at all the moronic patrons lapping it up. It's no different today.

the casual observer said:

I agree.

It's been vandalized twice, I think.

Someone pissed in it back in the 90s and a few years back someone chipped it with a hammer. I'm pretty sure that just increases it's value.

Duchamp would laugh, I'm sure.

Here's one to rile the F2 critics.

Widely regarded as the most influential piece of modern art.

Marcel Duchamp's fountain

Valued at 3.6 Million dollars, many would consider it priceless.

Every buttplug that shares that moniker is a despised joke. They should all just leave.

I forgot the old hag herself. She looks like a burn victim.

He certainly did. Das' works are reflective of his own experiences, not someone else's.

Never saw that. The only thing I see they share is substance abuse.

The artist he most resembles is Jean Dubuffet. Run a google image search.

Basquiat didn't highlight violence in his work.

Everybody here hates you.

I can only speculate, but I suspect there will be a breakdown in the solutions that humans use to solve the problems of survival pressures and society will spiral back to a population level suitable to the new physical reality.

For instance, imagine losing the ability to maintain a power grid.

Bohica said:

Exactly. They're obviously responding to some sort of pressure.

The reason humans can overpopulate to the degree they have is that they can create many more types of responses to the same pressures. Even so, eventually the increasing pressures will result in more primal behavior.

Bohica said:

I agree she influenced her own study from a anthropological point of view, but when viewed from the game theory point of view her observations were priceless.

All of which happened before I was born.

Which reinforces the point, that it has now become politically incorrect to say that there are too many people on the planet.

Bohica said:

I think Goodall's studies of the more primitive primates are quite revealing in that light. "Threatened" can have a lot of motives...

When you view religion as just another tribal trait, religious violence makes more sense. Tribe vs tribe.
