(💬🇬🇧) A bouquet with modern touches 🌐🧠⛓️👥 🌱. I created it three years ago 💐🎨. It doesn't reflect my own interests. It's an "illustrative" bouquet of the themes our world is exploring today.

One day, these themes will be outdated or will evolve. The world will then take a critical look at its way of exploring, not exploring, or some of its past ideas and doings. And so on. An endless cycle. 🌎

A quotation from Bertrand Russell

And always, in our highly regularised way of life, [the modern man] is obsessed by thoughts of the morrow. Of all the precepts in the Gospels the one that Christians have most neglected is the commandment to take no thought for the morrow. If a man is prudent, thought for the morrow will lead him to save; if he is imprudent, it will make him apprehensive of being unable to pay his debts. In either case the moment loses its savour. Everything is organised, nothing is spontaneous.

Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
Lecture (1949-01-09), “The Role of Individuality,” Reith Lecture, “Authority and the Individual” No. 3, BBC Radio

Do you remember how ordering a package worked "on your brain" before we received constant status updates?

My dad remembers it as follow: I'd order a thing and they would tell me it'll be there in a week or maybe two weeks. Didn't really care about the delivery time. Then I'd forget about it until it arrived.

A quotation from Thomas Carlyle

If Jesus Christ were to come today, people would not even crucify Him. They would ask Him to dinner, and hear what He had to say, and make fun of it.

Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) Scottish essayist and historian
Remark (1850-01-12)

"In a world driven by algorithms and digital noise, it’s easy to lose sight of what truly builds a life. This story follows Julian’s journey through the modern hustle to find that career and wealth are just background noise compared to the people we love. Ultimately, no technology can replace the warmth of family and the peace of coming home."

Jedno z przesłań na dzisiejsze czasy.

"Ogranicz korzystanie z mediów społecznościowych (które są cyfrowym fast foodem i czymś, co dorośli powinni w znacznej mierze wyeliminować ze swojego życia).

Trzymaj urządzenia w jednym miejscu w domu, zamiast nosić je przy sobie.

Naciskaj na rząd, by wprowadził zakaz korzystania z mediów społecznościowych przez dzieci, wzorując się na australijskim ustawodawstwie.

Buduj kulturę pracy, w której telefony i laptopy nie pojawiają się na spotkaniach, i znajdź strategie współpracy, które nie wymagają ciągłego wysyłania wiadomości.

Zaprzestań niejasnych żądań, by „wykorzystywać sztuczną inteligencję”, i zamiast tego starannie wdrażaj te narzędzia tam, gdzie faktycznie czynią nas mądrzejszymi, a nie tylko bardziej zajętymi."

A quotation from Adlai Stevenson

We have made great advances in understanding the problem of national security in the modern world. We no longer think in terms of American resources alone. For the most part we now understand the need for a great international system of security, and we have taken the lead in building it.

Adlai Stevenson (1900-1965) American diplomat, statesman
Speech (1952-08-27), “The Nature of Patriotism,” American Legion Convention, Madison Square Garden, New York City

Typical Rammstein! What at first glance often seems like provocative, blunt nonsense reveals itself on closer inspection as profound, bitter, and razor-sharp social criticism.

Only when you see the context and the depth do you realize what it’s really about. It’s not about breasts. It’s about the isolated, alienated modern world, about desperate longing, about the abysses of loneliness and the masculine crisis, wrapped in a bitterly sharp, self-consuming satire. Provocation is the door. Tragedy is the room behind it.

I tried to translate the deeper meaning of this song, the loneliness, the alienation of modern life, and the bitter, self-consuming satire, into a visual artwork using SDXL.
