And why, when the world is approaching self-destruction?
Build, not fashionable, not pokupabelno not konyukturno .. (Is not it?)

(Well, you can add what's Kali-Yuga, and now the long wait for the final release ... Let pozozhe the truth, but somehow too sad!)
The whole world craves power, preferably - free then. Few can become sources of new energy, and artists (in a good, creative sense of the word) - one of these in a few.
But! It turns out that the energy released is much easier to fracture. I swear by the atomic bomb. With the destruction of something of a stable mass of energy released. Same - Breaking the psychological pattern. It's easier - in fact much easier to destroy, and therefore destroyed, hence all the exaltation of glamor and foolish cynicism, that they say everything in life is simply bought and stupidly to loot. This figure is growing because of its energetically promoting many of the media, and most importantly it is easy to manage.

Nevertheless, those who feels a creative force, you know what it is and how you can lose everything. Therefore, artists are likely to need a serious upgrade their knowledge. Only then they will have and scrap the idea - and the possibility of a constructive embodiment.

If we recall the main lines of work in the old days - it was a religion (the values of higher level and with a decent PR), archetypal images (such as Venus, without lace), followed by social life + erotica (sold by itself), well, more food, drink, different battles, etc. Today, the religion made room, she no longer meets the real needs, and nothing much to say. Too conservative. Social life and arhetipiku assigned glossy magazines. Food, drink, etc. - advertising.

Artists need to look not only unconsciously wandering ideas are all here too clogged, but new creative images, and desirable - that they have a practical sense. For example ... oh, do not need the same fishing spots give .

100%agree to create new and original because the world does not stand still .. and the evolutionary process moving forward .. and Chinese philosophy is relevant only in the case when a hefty picture of the modern masters of selling a business barter with the south-east Asia

Maybe you just do not know how practical Chinese philosophy. They do the whole philosophy - continuous practice, as opposed to European. Just need to understand it properly. As a guide to action, not words.
