^epitaph for this entire movement, if you can effortlessly pretend to be in possession of one meaningless skill why not 20, quantum jumping is kinda the ultimate cause u just beg the universe to bestow expertise upon you

just watched the vid, and sorry dudes but I actually kind of think if its just about thinking something dumb so you can try and make art that's fine kind of?

But then when it comes to basking in the monetization of everything and spreading the horrible thought process that led you to make what you've made then it becomes indefensible?

totally otm-- also taking it to the next level and turning "thinking something dumb" into a PRODUCT that you then market to people....

I've seen the hugging guru irl, when I was younger, it was a very scary/dumb experience, basically any indian kind of thing filled with white people freaks me the fuck out no offense, lotta indian people there too though

puff puff post (uh oh I'm having a fantasy), Thursday, 2 February 2012 18:42 (twelve years ago) link

did u get a hug tho, ive heard theyre amazing hugs

lag∞n, Thursday, 2 February 2012 18:43 (twelve years ago) link

my little cousin burst into tears when she entered the room the hugging guru was in

puff puff post (uh oh I'm having a fantasy), Thursday, 2 February 2012 18:43 (twelve years ago) link

haha wut

It seems to have been accepted into the Braco canon, so now lots of spiritual nutjobs have listened to Oneohtrix Point Never.

BRACO (pronounced braht-zo) is LIVESTREAMING from maui, hawaii feb 14-15

Now people around the world can participate in a gazing session with Braco through the Live Streaming experience.

I hope that Braco can gaze at us through the computer on a regular basis — through Skype or similar. This is my hope for myself and others — especially for those who cannot travel to see Braco. If he wants to reach a lot of people, this is the best way.

am0n, Thursday, 2 February 2012 18:44 (twelve years ago) link

now u can jerk it while gazing at braco

lag∞n, Thursday, 2 February 2012 18:45 (twelve years ago) link

the hug line was too long so I got free food w/ my family and left, we went there based on other fam convincing us to go, the car ride home was really quiet, all my mom kind of said was "I didn't know it would be like this, never listen to someone who wants to be worshipped"

puff puff post (uh oh I'm having a fantasy), Thursday, 2 February 2012 18:45 (twelve years ago) link

Q: I only have Wi-fi. Will the Gaze still work without the recommended direct connection? Will the stream still work?

A: Yes, the Gaze always flows, but if you don’t have a strong, plug in connection there are no guarentees that there will be no interference to the livestream. As one who tries nearly nightly to Skype with Braco from a shaky wi-fi connection, constantly, I know that a plug in option would be a much nicer experience. The connection often breaks apart and it can be frustrating, but we live off-grid with no options so I keep trying. Sometimes I’m successful, sometimes I resort to the phone instead of throwing my computer out the window. Follow your heart, but know it’s the difference between using an old black and white TV set with rabbit ears and being plugged into cable receiving information from a Satellite dish. This technology is only as good as your best computer connection.

the Gaze must flowwwwwwww~

am0n, Thursday, 2 February 2012 18:46 (twelve years ago) link

it's not limited to white people loving indian things.

there's a whole giant hunk of upper-middle class people protestants who are casual buddhists and practice 'self-work' and also yoga w/o any conviction beyond a vocal committment and seem to like the mystical orientalizing cachet of the whole thing and eat so many chia seeds

wow, didn't realize it was Oneohtrix Point Never, thought it was some Braco homebrew stuff... fits perfectly with that video

I went to hug lady for the same reason I still go to temples when I visit my family, I was just along for the ride I guess. Although when I was in india once I went to an ancient temple that was just little crude statues carved within these underground caves you had to crawl through that was pretty cool. Prob the only really cool temple experience

the personal development leader/artist reminds me of a friend talking about how jealous he was of people who didn't know how terrible their writing/art/etc. was - how it must be freeing to think that everything you paint is a masterpiece.

bit about his art appreciating is particularly lolsome, given that most work even by established artists represented in NY/London galleries doesn't actually appreciate in value
