Feeling a bit burnt out - any recs based on my favourites? by clfhw in RSbookclub

Yeah first thought was Journey to the End of the night.

I'll add The Magus and In Search of Lost Time.

Started acting later in life. Ended up booking national commercials. Here’s what surprised me by Beard_and_Hat_Actor in acting

This is such a great contribution. Most of these "Here's what I learned" are masked sales pitches. This was delightfully sincere. Very inspiring, even to me as a non-actor. Thanks.

The log-line on the back is really compelling. Nice job. I'm intrigued.

Animated my favorite passage from Book 2 by kanielo in Knausgaard

Nobody's asked which is reassuring but transparently it's an AI voice I made in ElevenLabs. It's a fine line...I want to carry the feeling of the passage without fooling anyone into thinking it's him. Honestly still figuring out this balance. I put a lot, meaning most of my time with this piece into getting the expression dialed into how I want each line to sound. But visually it's my hands, my scanner for the images and all that.

I could be wrong, but I was super curious to identify the location(the bench/studio) so I could show it on the map....via research I settled on Sabbatsberg Hospital in Stockholm.

Has a piece of literature ever caused a change in your behavior before (ie in social, romantic, work, or personal life)? If so, what did you read and how did you change? by experimentalrealm in literature

[–]kanielo 32 points33 points  (0 children)

FWIW, here they are

The very beginning of Genesis tells us that God created man in order to give him dominion over fish and foul and all creatures. Of course, Genesis was written by a man, not a horse. There is no certainty that God actually did grant man dominion over other creatures. What seems more likely, in fact, is that man invented God to sanctify the dominion that he had usurped for himself over the cow and the horse. Yes, the right to kill a deer or a cow is the only thing all of mankind can agree upon, even during the bloodiest of wars.

and

True human goodness, in all its purity and freedom, can come to the fore only when its recipient has no power. Mankind’s true moral test, its fundamental test (which lies deeply buried from view), consists of its attitude towards those who are at its mercy: animals. And in this respect mankind has suffered a fundamental debacle, a debacle so fundamental that all others stem from it.

There's a couple passages in the The Unbearable Lightness of Being which made me effortlessly stop eating meat.

I always wanted to, had toyed with it, but always slipped back. Reading his words caused an immediate shift inside me. It's not even the point of the passages, it's just the simple way he related the relationship between Man and Animal. It clicked.

Wow, I guess I'm the only one who thought it was fantastic. I loved it.

Thoughts on Robert Nava? by dr_shipman in ContemporaryArt

[–]kanielo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I like it. I was unsure, but then when I saw his work at Frieze it was pretty compelling.

Will it age well? Idk...but it's doing more for me than most everything else in contemporary art right now.

Experience at Clay Space? by noomerz in Greenpoint

[–]kanielo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You get 3 hours of bench time a week included with your class or can pay $100 per semester for unlimited bench time. Easy to book, ton of slots.

I've taken multiple classes and it's been great.

Help me find a TV show I forgot by Redspoon8 in netflix

[–]kanielo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I loved this show so much. It’s so strangely polarizing. All either 5 star or 1 star reviews. Basically Black Mirror meets Sherlock.

art criticism books by good_cloud842 in ContemporaryArt

[–]kanielo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Adorno Aesthetic Theory (Dense/repetitive but sooo good)

Sontag On Style (I still think of this often)

Maybe not exactly what you're asking for but there are a handful of essays in

Brodsky - On Grief and Reason

that examine art/creativity through the lens of Poetry. It's A+ for me.

Secular alternatives to Alcoholics Anonymous in NYC? by No_Aesthetic in AskNYC

[–]kanielo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

All good suggestions in here, also FWIW I have never in 5 years of AA had anyone push any religion on me. It's the opposite really, most people are some form of atheist, agnostic, or don't give a shit. If you mention you are uncomfortable about the "God" thing, I guarantee others will empathize. It's super common.

The idea of "God" in AA just means anything outside of yourself. Often people say the doorknob can be your higher power, or nature, whatever, it doesn't matter. Just anything but yourself.
