That's a classic quote, part of the pop culture, and of the modern day myth. But does it stand true, is anything of value only coming out of pressure, why is pressure valorized as the impetus or the action giving rise to what is cherished.

Challenging quotes, I'll let you ponder on them since Mr.Wilde was so adamant to repeat the same idea in many of his work. On that note, let's mention this website: https://quoteinvestigator.com/, I find it fascinating to dive behind the origin of quotes. Even though most quotes are by definition extracted from their context and infinitely reinterpreted, I still like to shatter that and try to find even more meaning by doing so.

ThoughtsArt has multiple definitions, it's hard to pin down, for example here there are many of them, from transmitting emotions, to create aesthetically pleasing objects, and a form of expression. For me, art is what makes you ponder about deep topics you normally wouldn't encounter, something that challenges your perception of life, maybe even shock and touch your own cultural malaise and boundaries, something that is hard to define until directly experienced. "What if something has meaning away from you and your own assignation to it." Like spoken or written language, local context shapes art and changes its signification. I often like to challenge people by throwing words that have a widely different meaning than what they presuppose, to blow their own contextual bubble, break away from their inner limitations. One especially interesting piece I've stumbled upon is "The Caretaker, Everywhere At The End Of Time". You can find it on YT here. It has this ephemeral aura, it carries you on a journey of frightening feelings you might have never touched before, "a series exploring dementia, its advancement and its totality". Some describe it as making you doubt your own reality, the edge of consciousness, trying to transcribe something you might never experience. Similarly, the psyche.co website has a series of wonderful indie films that I truly enjoy. Man on the chair touches upon the upside downs of life, its inner meanings and cloudiness. I've digressed, let me know if you like this type of content. NB: You might have noticed but I linked quite a lot of my favorite
tech bloggers in this issue. Kudos these fabulous writers, Julia Evans

What a cheesy quote, right? Also a big hyperbole! Yet, I think there's
some truth to it, programming computers does change the way you think
about some things and approach problems. It probably doesn't teach you to
"think" but it does teach you how to apply a certain methodological way
to look a things, similar to how learning a new skill set would. ArchiveYou can find the archive of past newsletters here: ContributeThere are many ways to contribute:

An inspirational quote that you can listen to while working out. In all
seriousness, sometimes we pay more attention to what is happening around
us, what others are planning for, than what we would like to see. Think
about this for next week. ArchiveYou can find the archive of past newsletters here: ContributeThere are many ways to contribute:

Life can take us on so many path, some of them taken deliberately, some
of them serendipitously. Yet, when we yearn for something, we want to
arrive there early, but for things that matter, it's the road that is
more important than the end. ArchiveYou can find the archive of past newsletters here: ContributeThere are many ways to contribute:

A classic monologue, with a single punchline. Yet, I also think sunscreen is very important, put some today maybe. ArchiveYou can find the archive of past newsletters here: ContributeThere are many ways to contribute:

There's a lot of things we prepare for indirectly, unconsciously, but never actually practically do. Maybe because we're afraid of failure, consequences, or the unknown. This week, let's ponder on such scenarios, turning them from tacit to explicit and deliberate. ArchiveYou can find the archive of past newsletters here: ContributeThere are many ways to contribute:

Be there for the people around you, this is something these past few years have made even more apparent. "A friendship isn’t a forced duty or responsibility, it’s a relation that we choose to keep out of love."

I'd take this further and put it as: prioritize talking about what you
love or learned instead of what bothered you, and if you absolutely have
to, at least put in a constructive way. I'm definitely guilty of this too,
and I know it's hard to get out when you start going down this spiral. In
the age of the internet, toxicity is omnipresent. Take some time to revise

Coming from a film mastermind like Fritz Lang, this quote displays the difference in quality between craftmanship and mere industrial consumption. Do you feel the passion that you put in work, or that other put, shows up in the end? ArchiveYou can find the archive of past newsletters here: ContributeThere are many ways to contribute:

I like this quote, it applies in multiple places. Sometimes the pieces of the puzzle are missed because they're out of our expertise, touching domains that weren't even in our concern when approaching the problem.

It's good to have the newsletter back. Think about people, hobbies, and others that you haven't given much attention to lately, maybe it's time to rekindle, to re-form bounds. ArchiveYou can find the archive of past newsletters here: ContributeThere are many ways to contribute:
