Psychology, Lynchpin for Rationality and Irrationality

A Rational Practitioner battles an Irrational Practitioner. The irrational practitioner structures their defense in accordance to the rational confines of the rationalist’s unethical proposition that would presumably condemn the irrationalist’s creativity based on the preponderance of rationale. You ever got pissed when a rationalist like myself decided to step in and only appeal to your rationale? “ To an atheist [...], there is no all-seeing all-loving god to keep us free from harm. But atheism is not a recipe for despair. I think the opposite. By disclaiming the idea of the next life, we can take more excitement in this one. The here and now is not something to be endured before eternal bliss or damnation. The here and now is all we have, an inspiration to make the most of it. So atheism is life-affirming, in a way religion can never be. Look around you. Nature demands our attention, begs us to explore, to question. Religion can provide only facile, ultimately unsatisfying answ...

Poems - William Wolfman

Black White WOLF-MAN WO-MAN W-MAN Grey Introduction A group of Nazi werewolves marched up the stairs of the young blonde-haired and blue eyed girl’s apartment building in urban Germany. The night is eclipsed in obscured chaos. The two planets: Mars and Venus vacillate in opposition, causing the young girl’s Geminian mind to scatter and recollect across the page. Howls and screams through canine skulls, the blonde compartmentalizes her opening speech with words falling neatly into place on the fine tooth. Placing words down into sounded patterns paralleling those of the soldier’s steps of their basic training’s jog. The choice to write seemed tiresome, monotonous, strange… And yet, she was relentless. She infuses her content with a touch satire and titles the poem “Born Victim” on the front page, and signs her name below the line of the last poem on the last page: “Anne Frank” The werewolves break open the wooden door and find her sitting stiffly beside a bedside table with her blac...

Japan’s A.I. - Pygmalion

Japan's A.I. - Pygmalion by William Wolfman Important terms Shinto (神道 Shintō), or kami-no-michi (among other names) - is the ethnic religion of Japan that focuses on ritual practices to be carried out diligently in order to establish a connection between present-day Japan and its ancient past. Buddhism - is a religion and dharma that encompasses a variety of traditions, beliefs and spiritual practices largely based on original teachings attributed to the Buddha and resulting interpreted philosophies. ________________________________________________________________ Art by William Wolfman Deviant Art: @WDWolfman Japan doesn’t have a religious precedent like the US, as the country is mostly Buddhist and Shinto. Monotheistic religions like Christianity usually have something to say about morality — think about how much money has been spent fighting women’s rights to abortion. Japan hasn’t really had that battle. Of course there are two sides to the coin a...

The Odyssey (essay) Kalypso's Island

The Odyssey – Kalypso’s Island In Homer’s epic “The Odyssey”—on pages 89-91, from lines 50-104, translated by Richmond Lattimore, Hermes travels to Ogygia, an island ruled by a Goddess named Kalypso who fell in love with Odysseus, the story’s main protagonist for seven years. His encountering with the Goddess in this small passage tells us that Hermes, the messenger of the Gods, is arguably the most adaptable character in the Odyssey, and his importance here in particular, differentiates an adaptable character from a single-minded one. Lattimore’s description of the island from Hermes’ point of view gives a magnificent effect on the reader when Hermes has a conversation with Kalypso which helped Odysseus continue on his journey home to Ithaca. Ten years before “The Odyssey,” Odysseus was a loyal warrior who fought alongside the Acheans, during the Trojan War. After the war was finally over, Menelaus and Helen both reside in Sparta, and Odysseus’s son Telemachus and wife Penelope r...

Social Media Chaos

Image
Social Media Chaos by William Wolfman Social media will pressure you into not being standoffish... Hold onto your dichotomy as Jung believed, and never abandon that dichotomy. Artist communities have imposed an extremism that 'dichotomies' shouldn't ever govern who you are and that an 'everyone is equal' mentality' is somehow inherently true in accordance to some 'creationist' heresy. But this however, is faulty to an extreme and is something I've speculated as detracting from modern art in general as well as artists' creativity today. And sure, 500 years ago we didn't have that science of psychiatry that would aid artists in their discoveries and inventions like we have now, or at least, refined to the extent of it even being considered a medical craft like it is today. Nevertheless, two halves of the brain will be in constant conflict with your decision making whether you are aware of it or not. And sure, this vague facet o...

The Amazing Universe

The Amazing Universe Poem by ThunderfOOt The Man Under the Silver Arch. He stands, that all he does, static under the silver arch as the universe courses through his brain. He sees it all from galactose to galaxies. He sees the nuclei, and the wavefunctions of the electrons. The free energy minima spanning orders of magnitude and different fundamental forces. The bound states of the nuclei, the electrons, the molecules into the kinetic arena of the non-converged states of life. The electron imbalances and the cascades of his nervous system leading him to conceive both those imbalances and the universe exterior to them. He feels the density gradient beneath his feet and the thousand fold less dense gas pressing on him. He feels it in the gravitational gradient of the earth, and sees the pressure drop to that of space a hundred miles above his head. All of a sudden, the man under the silver arch is lost as the earth drops away to reveal the nearby star, ...

Favorite Quotes

WILLIAM WOLFMAN ART · SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 2017 34 Reads Favorite Quotes “Thermodynamic miracles... events with odds against so astronomical they're effectively impossible, like oxygen spontaneously becoming gold. I long to observe such a thing. And yet, in each human coupling, a thousand million sperm vie for a single egg. Multiply those odds by countless generations, against the odds of your ancestors being alive; meeting; siring this precise son; that exact daughter... Until your mother loves a man she has every reason to hate, and of that union, of the thousand million children competing for fertilization, it was you, only you, that emerged. To distill so specific a form from that chaos of improbability, like turning air to gold... that is the crowning unlikelihood. The thermodynamic miracle. -Alan Moore, Watchmen “Stood in firelight, sweltering. Bloodstain on chest like map of violent new continent. Felt cleansed. Felt dark planet turn under my feet and...
