not sure if I'm ever going to finish/record/upload this response to CJ the X -- I really have a hard time navigating their views about art without being overly harsh. it feels like it would seem uncalled for in terms of negative energy. but sometimes you meet a perfectly fine person who says something about art that just makes you think, "hmmm, okay, well, you're sort of inhuman." like realizing a person you're talking to is the grim reaper. not evil. just kind of antithetical to life.
