“It is important to ask yourself whether your thoughts are consistent with facts or logic. There could be another explanation for a situation that is truer than your interpretation. Sometimes it is hard to break from long-held beliefs that have become part of your reality. Understand that it can take time and patience to overcome any negative preconceived notions toward your life that you’ve built up.”

Can art school teach you to be creative and generate ideas?
Yes, Art school can provide an environment that nurtures creativity and helps you develop the skills to generate ideas. It offers structured guidance, exposure to diverse techniques, and opportunities to experiment with various forms of expression. But it often depends on how creativity is approached in the learning environment. Creativity thrives in settings that encourage exploration, critical thinking, and self-expression. Here’s how schools can foster creativity:
- Project-Based Learning
By working on open-ended projects, students learn to solve problems, think critically, and generate original ideas.- Encouraging Divergent Thinking
Activities that have multiple solutions, like brainstorming sessions or creative writing, can help students think outside the box.- Exposure to the Arts
Art, music, and drama classes can nurture imagination and help students express unique perspectives.- Problem-Solving Challenges
STEM projects, design thinking exercises, or even puzzles can encourage innovative solutions.- Open-Ended Questions
Teachers who ask “what if” or “how might we” questions inspire students to think imaginatively.However, fostering creativity requires an environment where failure is treated as part of the process and not something to fear. If a school emphasizes rote learning or rigid conformity, it might stifle creativity. Creativity is also deeply personal, so individuals may need to supplement their education with personal exploration and experimentation.
Do you think your school experience supported creativity, or did you develop it outside of the classroom?

The Moon Cannot Be Stolen
Ryokan, a Zen master, lived the simplest kind of life in a little hut at the foot of a mountain. One evening a thief visited the hut only to discover there was nothing in it to steal.
Ryokan returned and caught him. “You may have come a long way to visit me,” he told the prowler, “and you shoud not return emptyhanded. Please take my clothes as a gift.”
The thief was bewildered. He took the clothes and slunk away.
Ryokan sat naked, watching the moon. “Poor fellow, ” he mused, “I wish I could give him this beautiful moon.”

Asian Conical Hat
The Asian conical hat (often called a sugegasa in Japan, dǒulì in China, nón lá in Vietnam, etc.) itself is not inherently racist—it is a traditional and practical piece of headwear used for centuries in many Asian countries, primarily for sun and rain protection. However, it can become problematic in certain contexts:
- Stereotyping & Caricature – When used as a costume or paired with exaggerated accents, clothing, or mannerisms, it can contribute to racial stereotypes, reducing rich and diverse cultures to a simplistic image.
- Mockery & Disrespect – If worn in a way that mocks or trivializes Asian cultures, especially in Western media or Halloween costumes, it can be offensive.
- Historical Context – In some places, the conical hat has been used to depict Asians in a demeaning way, such as in propaganda or racist cartoons.
If it’s used to stereotype, mock, or dehumanize, it can be offensive.

“So bullshitting isn’t just nonsense. It’s constructed in order to appear meaningful, though on closer examination, it isn’t. And bullshit isn’t the same as lying. A liar knows the truth but makes statements deliberately intended to sell people on falsehoods. bullshitters, in contrast, aren’t concerned about what’s true or not, so much as they’re trying to appear as if they know what they’re talking about. In that sense, bullshitting can be thought of as a verbal demonstration of the Dunning-Kruger effect—when people speak from a position of disproportionate confidence about their knowledge relative to what little they actually know, bullshit is often the result.”
