it’s truly a masterpiece of perspicuousness

perhaps your subjective experience is not the same as mine, and similarly, what I’ve experienced is not as universal as I hoped and my joking little comment about what it’s like to get unusual feedback doesn’t land with you - or anyone perhaps on this forum

and thats OK. My apologies if it didn’t resonate, but also I don’t think either of us will get any more out of bickering.

you’ve never been in a situation like that? I have as a clown, a musician, a performance artist, a graphic designer and a marketer.

And I worked in art criticism for a national newspaper for which I won a journalism award lol

“can you make this green a little bit more like the feeling of biting a butterfly? and also rewrite the copy to make it more crunchy. You have 1 hour, yes I know it’s 3am”

I slightly misused it, my bad. It’s usually used in context of “it doesn’t matter” - ie I meant “criticism matters” but you’re right that I didn’t use it strictly.according to the dictionary definition.

I probably just meant “immune” but wasn’t thinking deeply about it.

sure but not inured to criticism, that’s meant to be the point… all this

give my car a little more pep

you’re gonna need the specifics on this one. Attaching a jet engine to a car should be illegal, but on a cosmic scale, such speed would be infinitesimal.

infinite jest is half footnotes, which are at the back of the book, which is part of the “joke” of the book, being based around extreme academia.

I read Tarot as a mild hobby - I love collecting decks and paraphernalia and then using them. But for me it’s like any other creative impetus randomizer machine (scenes from a hat in improv, the artists way, oblique strategies…) - you pull a series of images and then talk about how it makes you feel.

it’s not spiritual at all for me.
