                Ya, more freedom for example. Chill doing whatever you want, its all your responsibility now.

                  Yeah, that’s a good way of putting it. Freedom to succeed implies freedom to fail. Unfortunately, too often neither failure nor success are ultimately your responsibility. The older I get is the more I realize I don’t have the control over my life that I thought I had. Most apparent control is an illusion in that way: Processes designed to give you the impression of control without actually providing it. Even the control you seem to have over your body- well, just wait until your body (or god help you, your mind) starts to betray you. Arguably, under a superdeterminist/perfect materialist interpretation of the universe, all control, all choice is an illusion.

                  But, for all that, there is a different kind of freedom that comes with giving up caring about some of that stuff, not worrying about it and allowing the chips to fall where they may. To be sure, some things are worth standing up for, but not everything. To that point:

                  I don’t know quite where I came off as unpleasant or whatever you might call it, but I promise that wasn’t my intention. Sometimes I rub people the wrong way without meaning to. I only downvoted you for saying I was angry, which isn’t called for I think. Well, that and your submission which I personally don’t think is well fit for the community, but that’s just my opinion. Maybe you could try one of the digital art communities? I seem to recall Beehaw has a good digital art comm.

                    Thx for the videos, they were very interesting to watch. The superdeterministic theory has the perspective that everything can be determined based on the order of systems especially scientific ones. But just because there is order doesn’t mean everything is order, there is still a lot of chaos present in systems specially when we analyze biological ones.

                    When it comes to freedom culturally speaking, a lot depends on the collective. In order to exist systems where freedom is suppressed heavily, the collective has to believe that there is only right decisions when in fact reality as show many times that that’s not the case.

                    Chaos will exist for the better or for the worst (if we want to get really esoteric, one can argue that chaos of chaos is order, and if chaos is very prevalent in a system overtime the likelihood of originating order is higher, but the same happens in orderly systems converting into chaos, or the new order, the anti-meta (like a cycle))

                    On the point of the video I suggested, I thought it was interesting that the video showed that it was possible to create the same poster in different editing software. One of them was foss which the creator knowledged that it was possible to do it, and he even did, which helps pushing the idea of “its all about getting used to the tools we have”. Also the point of adobe being the standard was pointed out which is true but seing a professional saying that helps verify this statement and it was decently entertaining doing so.

                    I could see it not being for everyone but it is educative in its own way and I think developing a multidisciplinary mindset is healthy when it comes to education in general. Since the community doesn’t specify a specific genera I approached it as a general videos community where any content that might be insightful to someone is a good recommendation to the general public.

                    In regards to the shilling that creator does on the description, i do agree that it is kinda overkill but i dont think its ill mannered in nature. I do also sympathize to the fact that you have to make a living and on more artistic fields such might be harder and it push someone to resort to “more impactful” approaches to develop income.
