Four groups and they're mindsets


This is going to be an experiment of psychology.


Overlaps, intersections and conflicts, from the making of comics.

From the camps that Scott Mcloud prophesied in his book. Two duel-minded mindsets that have been a way to visualize paths. Be it a pin-up artist, comic artist and other ways.

Four paradoxes

  • The Classicist sensation>Beauty=Gatekeeping/Curation 

This means selection and audiences, providing the backbone of techniques for the medium and building trust through the craft.

There's gatekeeping, flows of attention. Handled inefficiently, which is gatekeeping, handled well is respected curation.

  • The Animists intuition>content=Professionalism/Hackneyed hustle culture.

Gotta produce more content! Content is king! < Infamous article of Bill Gates, starting the content farms.

An infinity of content to sell to advertisers, direct, the ocean of content.

All to sell the marketing of discovery, (which is exposure within a outfit), discovery really being sold by google to advertisers, which are funded by them. Making us the product. All that status, all that for them.

Forced into this transaction, worldview and contract, made by them.

This has produced more content and the body of work within the internet. It has developed businesses her to and out. The heart of commercialism and the thing that moves the work. Providing hustle culture, hackneyed work.

Patrick Williams has touch on this video before.

Providing the bulk of the audience, along with its bulk.

Yet the professionalism is what is helps to pursue the craft, and calling. Especially with the internet allowing it. I've been pursuing with consistency to work without authenticity.

Along with the importance of storytelling and turning bigger scenes. Which no beautiful illustrations cannot save.

  • The Formalist thinking>form=Creativity/failure;amateurism
The improvisational jazz of our times.

Experimentalism here, at least if one fails here. One is an amateur, otherwise the hack will get paid and get a bad review of literary critics.

Creativity here is valued, making a category of one. So take note where this works.

  • The Iconclast feeling>Truth (poetic memoir in commercial, journalism within literary.) = Believability;verisimilitude/nihilism

This is what it means to push through, to tell what matters. Through the work through those who care.

Too much though, everything is lazy parody though. With no point of view.
