  • I once was reported by the high school programming class for “plagiarism” because I used visual studio’s auto-generated template to start my homework.

    The teacher reported it to my parents, he wanted to make me fail. I was also reported for creating a “hidden” chat app that I shared with my friends. (It didn’t show in the taskbar.)

    Next Christmas, they bought me a visual studio license at home!


  • My interpretation combined with my observations of the world is as follows.:

    Bourgeoisie art scene is a sanitized/toned down version of proletarian art, which could be called more “raw” or “real”. Fancy artists act as sort of explorers of raw art and pre-digest it so the (diluted) message can still somewhat reach those who wouldn’t have looked at that real art.

    They make more money simply because they come from this social class. They get “inspired” by poor artists and copy their style, making more money out of it.

    Are they artists? Yeah… Are they true innovators? No way!

    I always found this study to be lacking…

    5 minutes is not worth 1 marshmallow. Marshmallows are not that good, so one is way enough. As a kid, I could never trust adults who wanted to limit good things. Who’s to say the strange adult in a white coat would really bring a 2nd marshmallow? What if they actually remove the marshmallow instead?

    In short, it can only separate kids in two groups: the blind followers of authority and the other ones.
