hou yue buo

I haven’t been posting for a while.  For various reasons, some personal, some related to the platform.  Tumblr is no longer what it used to be.  Far from it.  More ads, no artistic nudes.  I am not asking for porn, but I hope to find art.  But hey, art has been inspired by nudity for millennia, both female and male.  Maybe even ten(s of) millennia.  And here we find ourselves banning it.  We might think we progress, but if this is progress I find myself lost.  Utterly lost.  Perversion, to me, is turning art into something it never wanted to be. 

I had wanted to write something about my current project, of which I have been posting some images recently.  But I don’t feel, in this day and age, that it has any relevance.  In fact I just feel desperation, about the fact that humanity seems incapable of solving the problems it has created for itself.  I don’t have to name them, the list would be too long.  Buried deep in our minds, we all know what to do to survive, I think.  When will we start doing it?

2022/03/07:  today I read this on CNN: “ As a commander of US Army troops that defeated the Nazi regime in Germany 77 years ago, Gen. Omar Bradley knew a lot about war. Three years after the Second World War ended, he warned, "The world has achieved brilliance without wisdom, power without conscience. Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. We know more about war than we know about peace, more about killing than we know about living."”.  Still true :-(
