Here's my take: you personally can't differentiate between art and porn, and therefore find all such nudity both arousing and offensive. On one hand I kinda feel sorry for you. On the other, you're projecting that on the rest of us with an almost compulsive hatred. Stop it.

Well, you know, other people enjoy these photos for weird creepy prurient less righteous physical/sexual reasons, and I oppose them for righteous burkhini-ish feminist reasons.

And other other people oppose them for self-righteous posturing reasons and need professional mental help and don’t do this male thing right and project their hatred on to us and lack the ability (that I possess) of discerning art from porn, whereas I enjoy them for their higher-minded righteous artistic value.

But regardless, me, I do it just right, and it’s hard for me to understand why you people don’t do it like me, perfect in every way.

My sense is that we gather the information that confirms our preferred perspective, and then try not to notice or not believe the information supporting a different belief. Seems like we’re doing that more and more these days.

Its too much work (really, not sarcastically) to gather all the information to form a completely objective perspective, so we do the best we can to form and maintain beliefs that work to our best advantage. And that’s been working pretty well so far for us humans.

Maybe doing it works to our advantage in ways that we prefer not to notice in ourselves in order to maintain our sense of ourselves as right-righteous-good-rational believers, and not survival-of-me-the-fittest believers.

I don’t know, that kind of thing is above my pay grade. I’m a human too.

But for me, when we don’t understand why other people do or believe what they do and believe, and we then actively interpret them in ways that make them less righteous in our eyes than we are, I don’t think it’s because they’re doing it wrong (for themselves), I think it’s because we don’t understand what’s right (for them) about how they’re doing it. We want to be the ones who are right.

And if that’s self-righteous of us, I blame Obama! No, I mean evolution. But I figure evolution knows a thing or two that I don’t know, too.

Largo with respect to the question you asked, I don’t really have an answer, but I’d like to, because I think the answer might help us defeat me, among other things. But I think in order to do so we’ll need to recognize that the wacky human ways we do things isn’t that different than the wacky human ways they do things, and recognizing that is not a thing that’s currently winning, on either side.

TFPU, all! And cool photos, Ed and Dean!

OK....made the monumental effort. Put down the chilled white wine and grilled buffalo steak to click the link.

Looks like $6070 pledged with 12 days to go. Let's top out in splendor and hit at least an altitude of 7000 $ :)

Buon Tempo!

Almost to the goal, ST has stepped up big time, thank you! Also checkout this conversation I had with Chris Kalois on his amazing Enormocast!

From Wiki
Physical Body:
“An object is known by the application of senses
The properties of an object are inferred by learning and reasoning based on the information perceived
Abstractly ,an object is a construction of our mind consistent with the information provided by our senses.”


For what we look at and perceive is only an experience of our existence
It is different for everyone
That is why we are individuals

We all follow our interests and create what is around us


Dean is a creative individual who has combined his interests in a form that provokes the senses

Art. You bet!

Thanks Dean for all the years of work you have put into this

Dean,

Just got an email from our friend JLP. Wants to know if you'd consider doing one more calendar year. Apparently his wife has sweet talked him into paying for her photo session and the idea is causing him mild arousal. So he wants to keep this on the down low.

Cool - thanks, Dean.

On a separate note, am I seeing things or is your Kickstarter really funded to the amount of $12,642?

Almost double the initial goal. Way to go!!!

That's definitely the effect of Kalous and the Enormocast vs Supertopo, too funny.
