So much needed for me this time!!! I love singing from childhood but kept it aside for academics,which i’m best at. but at every stage school,college,post graduation i felt like some part of me was always missing and felt empty inside.

I will do it definetly..i don’t want say no more excuses, I really want to play piano,learn classical music..Thank you so much Amie!! I really connected to ur words…the words “In a world where we have no control, only creative outlet of art form makes u hopeful,powerful!!” Love you Amie!! I will definetly read ur book❤

First of all, AI cannot create creativity, since there is no model for it, so please don’t be fooled by all the high-tech hypes surrounding AI. Secondly, when we (artists & the like) manifest and release our creativity into object-making, new ideas inevitably surfaces leading to more compounded projects and ideations. This sounds chaotic, but it serves as a counter-chaos to cool these arise based on war, greed, evilness, and darkness. Think of it as heavenly chaos against hellish chaos. Thirdly, humanity is undeniably inseparable from arts. At the height of all past civilizations, amazing amount of energy was devoted to artistic expression. We inherited those which survived the test of time and were fortunately preserved, conserved, re-invented by later generations of artists. All humans are the products of the arts; we cannot escape it. Art is all around us. To deny its existence is to deny the very reality that we live in.

I think your speech was useful but there were some points you had to give examples for your ideas to explain it better such as you said art is political but I couldn’t find any kind of specific idea that is political.

Hey Aime. Great talk.
What an amazing sentence…”I want you to take back some of those ten years from Zuckerberg and give it to a project you want to work on.” Not everyone will, but some will. I will be spending more time playing the piano. Producing is far better than consuming. Great talk.
Keep up your good work even in the midst of people who may be saying, it is a waste of time….keep on keeping on…

One has to realize that we can only do so much, if anything at all about the crisis going on in the world..that sucks but that’s true..focusing,hearing , watching it only makes us crumble..instead lose yourself in something creative that brings you joy,, relief. It doesn’t mean you’re a bad person, it means your protecting what makes you whole.
