I think artists have the added difficulty that good taste develops before good craft. It's so easy not to live up to your own taste if you are not full of yourself :)

Further: and once your craft matches your good taste: is it still compatible with the taste of non-experts and do you need it to be for success? There are examples of great art, that is also pop, but what if you are not in to pop...

Anyways: keep doing what you do, fail frequent and quickly, and you are on a good path

how busy are you at work?

thank you so much! :)

It works the other way around. You put the lasers and than you make someone give you the money.

Are looking forward to fusion? Waste-wise not sooo long a half-time and far less, but always a few years away XD

Why grief?

I sadly totally get it emotionally, but evolutionary?

Evolutionary loss aversion makes sense, is grief just an artifact from that or what would be its purpose?

edit: My further thoughts:

• After all when grief hits it's to late for action. At best you could learn from it, but grief does not induce fear. It actually feels rather inhibiting, which is not good for survival.

• It also doesn't feel like mental healing from a trauma. There is nothing foggy to clear, it's just obvious sadness.

• It does feel very related to missing something (like being homesick or in a long distance relationship). I guess it would be the collision of the urge for something and the inability to fulfill it. Additionally a total lack of motivation because rational thinking comes to the conclusion that there is no hope to ever fulfill it. That would make it a gridlock of emotions that make sense by itself, but are just quite unhandy in combination. The sense these make by themselves: No hope = don't waste energy on it; loss = don't let that happen (again); urge for something = go get it
