“As a rule the model, nowadays, is a pretty girl, from about twelve to twenty-five years of age, who knows nothing about art, cares less, and is merely anxious to earn seven or eight shillings a day without much trouble. English models rarely look at a picture, and never venture on any aesthetic theories. In fact, they realise very completely Mr. Whistler's idea of the function of an art critic, for they pass no criticisms at all. They accept all schools of art with the grand catholicity of the auctioneer, and sit to a fantastic young impressionist as readily as to a learned and laborious academician.”

“You are not starting with a blank canvas. You already carry a rich history of experiences, skills, and sensitivities, even if you have never taken an art class or held a paintbrush with confidence. Everything you have learned, endured, and noticed so far is raw material. The practical skills you’ve built while raising a family, running a household, or managing a career are part of your creative toolkit, waiting to be used in new ways.”

“Normalizing Case Specific AI Use (Naskaristana 2663-2666) Don't waste your time on the dilemma of, to use or not to use ai, ask instead, how can you use ai in your particular field, without compromising your integrity! It's not about avoiding ai, it's about delegating menial tasks to ai - fire, steam, electricity, internet, ai, these are all tools, sooner or later you will adopt it, and this comes from a person whose literature was heisted without consent to train algorithms, among many other living writers. Sure, unlike electricity and internet, the origin of gen-ai is downright dubious, so much so that even bombing these ai companies would not be unjustified, just like bombing america would be a great humanitarian initiative, but that won't solve the exploitation problem in the long run - so we'd have to find meaningful alternatives to deal with such contraptions of heinous origins, instead of just freaking out, whether it's algorithm or america. AI slop is still slop, American history is still a crimescene, therefore we have to deslopify ai, and disinfect america of its foundational knack for terrorism. Also, one more thing, ai is a radically new territory, even the makers of ai don't know what they're doing, so don't expect to figure out everything overnight, don't be too hard on yourself pressured by hypocrites; the idea is not to outsource your ideas, whether to ai or to hypocritical primates, so take your time, and figure out your own ethics of ai in case specific context. Use ai to be more meaningful than productive - for example, bring inspiring figures to life, and make them have discourse with each other, but always maintain their original texts. Or like I recently (March, 2026) used ai to produce a few audio materials, based on some of the sonnets, these tracks sound like music but they are not, even though the lyrics are mine, it's not music until I pick up the guitar and sing myself, or some real musician does; I see these ai audio tracks as accessibility extensions - in fact, accessibility could be the greatest boon of ai. The canon is the art, the audios are just more courier, both the ai tracks and my own voice recordings. Main point is this: music without musician is not music, poetry without poet is not poetry, art without artist is not art, simulation without experience is delusion. You can 3d print furniture, but you cannot 3d print art - and alas, only a true artist can know what this means!”

“Only an idealist can be a cynic, for unless there is an ideal there is nothing to be cynical about. One does not paint a revolting image of a man and give it a cynical title unless one expects something better than degeneration in a man. Believing that, if God existed, He would have produced a better universe, Shelley took refuge in agnosticism. Yet the Christian holds that it was God who gave Shelley his notion of worth. One has yet to see an agnostic horse or a cynical cow. (From The Arts and the Christian Imagination : Essays on Art, Literature, and Aesthetics)”

“در مقطعی در تاریخ مدرن، به نظر عده ی زیادی چنین آمد که حافظه و سنت صرفا بارهایی اضافه هستند که باید زمینشان بگذاریم و خودمان را از شرّشان خلاص کنیم. آن فجایع اجتماعی که در این قرن بر سر نوع بشر آمد، مددکارش هنری بود که ستایشگر بی سابقگی، تغییر مداوم، بی مسئولیتی، و آوانگاردیسمی بود که همه ی سنت های پیشین را به سخره می گرفت و به مصرف کنندگان و تماشاچیان در گالری ها و در تئاترها پوزخند می زد، و از به حیرت انداختن خواننده به جای پاسخ دادن به سؤالاتی که جان خوانندگان را عذاب می دادند، به وجد می آمد. مهم نیست که رژیم های توتالیتری که در همین دوران به حاکمیت رسیدند ادبیات آوانگارد را منحط می دانستند و رد می کردند؛ مسئله ی اساسی این بود که آن ها هم همان نگاه تحقیرآمیز آوانگاردها را به سنت و ارزش های سنتی، به حافظه و خاطره ی اصیل نوع بشر داشتند، و بعد تلاش می کردند حافظه ای جعلی و ارزش هایی کاذب به ادبیات تحمیل کنند.”
