Art Under the Aegis of Lionsgait:
As of late, my art practice has had to adapt, with consideration to a rebranding, repackaging and relaunching of the anti-human divinely inspired agenda of the last millennium to trans-human. Which is a distinction without a difference, because it’s the same-old shtick couched in tech and sexed up by loyal AI advocating clerics from the various academic denominations, whose proselytizing disciples are problematic to the collaborative aspect of my creative practice. Ergo, the necessity of the following decrees, laws and proclamations at the Lionsgait:
- The Big Kahuna | The most important decree to follow and must agree to prior to entering the Lionsgait is that Edmund Dalpe is the artist, author, web-master, and all around big Kahuna, and thus his word is law in all matters, as the Lionsgait is a private totalitarian, yet benevolently run community by a kindly sovereign.
- Lioness is Supreme | At the Lionsgait, only the arts supersede the authority of the big Kahuna, not academic theories, laws and canons. Because if you scrape the sediment at that bottom of that barrel, you will find only opinion. Therefore, before entering the Lionsgait you must agree not to spread hypothetical academic opinions as fact without being metaphorically grounded.
- Creative Expression | Obviously, using the academic language system is extremely limited, because its crab like. Thus, using that limited mind-system in creative ways to express yourself is not discouraged. Likewise, you must agree when entering the Lionsgait, not necessarily to use such naughty language, but you can not gainsay another for doing so.
- Bots on a Leash |Bots may index the main page. They are not allowed for any other reason whatsoever.
- Art & AI | Using AI to generate creative content is like having virtual sex, which is sterile as it will never produce offspring; that is to say, an original idea. It is to speak absent minded without any metaphorical ground, which is deviant behavior at the Linotsgait, and thus it is not permitted.
- School of Hard Knocks | Having dumb ideas, which I entertain on a daily basis, are vociferously encouraged, because that is how we learn. Thus, you must agree prior to entering Lionsgait not to attack someone for a dumb idea, unless it’s entertaining.
- Sovereign Language | The distinction between the words language and art are without a difference at Lionsgait, and thus they are part of our creative process and practice, which is not democratic; it’s not academically open for peer review; nor is it a consensual social process. Thus, using language in a manner that contradicts that sovereign spirit of art and language is not tolerated at the Lionsgait.
- Feelings of Censorship | In the spirit of Voltaire, claiming that a metaphorical idea offends your feelings, as a means of suppressing said idea is also not tolerated. Thus, like all artists, you must have a lot of hard bark before entering the Lionsgait and you must agree not to engage in such passive aggressive censorship, or any other manipulative techniques to indoctrinate a creative spirit into the e pluribus unum mental principality of academia’s orthodoxy.
