still it feels like people are constantly being told to leave every bit of cynicism or critical thinking at the door. just sign up and shut up. quite an unnerving feeling.
funny also how trips always take this line of 'i don't care either way' when there's really only one reason to do it, no? but they never own up.
being a natural hater is anti grift radar.

Monet, I need to get more into paintings. I like Monet because his style lets you fill in the gaps in detail with your own imagination but I also like super detailed scenes with a lot of people just don’t know any specific artists.

>favorite prophet
Not a religious person. And I don't really care about prophets even in a non-religious context. "When the curtain goes up on this story, eighty years after the present date, London is almost exactly like what it is now".
>favorite composer
J.S. Bach (mostly historically informed performances; especially if performed by Pinnock or Leonhardt), Richard Strauss (1954 CSO/Fritz Reiner RCA recording is an absolute juggernaut), John Fahey (I think this is the most angry music I've ever heard). And I think Wagner has missed his calling, he should've been a symphony writer. Also, whoever composed the gamelan music for Balinese courts, that stuff is exquisite. Korean Sinawi music too, IMO they've managed to achieve something most of free jazz musicians could only dream about.
>favorite poet
Poetry does nothing for me.
>favorite novelist
Flaubert (aside from being a master craftsman, with Madame Bovary he put a mirror to my face and I didn't like what I saw there), Chesterton (yes, I'm still not a religious person). Can I mention Borges here, even though he didn't wrote a single novel?
>favorite philosopher
I'm not bright enough for it, for me reading most of philosophy books is like holding sand in a hand. I like Nietzsche because of his style and Renaissance-era humanists like Erasmus or Montaigne because they're comfy.
>favorite playwright
Gogol and Chekhov. It's funny though how Gogol is better known as novelist, but Revizor is actually my favourite of his works, and Chekhov better known as playwright, even though I think his short stories are superior to his plays.
>favorite director
Bergman (Winter Light and Scenes from a Marriage are my favourites), Visconti (The Leopard is one of the most beautiful movies I've ever saw), Leone.
>favorite painter
I'm partial to impressionists with their visible, loose brush strokes and the way they do the colours and the light, but I can't really say I have even the passing knowledge about the subject.
