David Lynch on Where Great Ideas Come From 

@Phil “PM” Modesto no this is accurate. think about getting an idea for a story or something, its only a scene not the whole thing but that one scene overtime blossoms and becomes your full story. Thats how it feels for me anyway

Agreed. I love his thoughts about parts of a movie being puzzle pieces which are really abstract, then as more ideas come it starts forming a 'thing'. That's a really smart way of describing creativity. It has to be worked on and developed, yet keep it true to its essence to build it in to something tangible and worthwhile. It really is a journey of discovery.

"I kind of cant of overstate how" ... what a gay way of starting a statement. what lynch here describes is pretty much basic knowledge (and he's right, of course), but the weird cartoon movie going along with it tries to make it appear more original than it is. a similar example is the youtube video "this is water" that superimposes a david wallace reading with wannabe meaningful images

not entirely true, i know some people who are utterly creatively bankrupt which i blame to be because of their lifestyle

lots of people have bad ideas

@@philpmmodesto He made total sense. Who said creativity should be 'fun and easy'? I don't think you understand what creativity is in this context.

@@philpmmodesto What makes you think that one can't feel through abstraction? In a way, our own thoughts and feelings are their own abstractions, humans just apply their own understanding of what they feel/see in each moment. Like how some people associate anger with the color red. The color red has no intrinsic meaning, it's just the result of light refracting off of cones in our head. It's the context of life and humanity that applies meaning to everything. Also, addressing your statement, "It's like saying I am going to make you laugh by making you feel sad", let me ask you this: what determines something to be funny in the first place? Is it because something is intrinsically funny or is it because somebody finds their own humor in something?

@@philpmmodesto what the fuck are you talking about

I actually appreciated it because it visualized the abstract things Lynch was saying. Maybe I’m just an idiot lol.

@@Ari-ww3fv Yeah I just found it funny bc I associate that art style with something that is the opposite of Lynch

... that you know of.

@@chaoswitch1974 yeah I'm pretty sure I made that clear in my post.

Massive, massive quantities!

How are they close together in logic?
