Ask Meta. Ask ChatGPT. Ask Grok. Ask for clarification. Ask for facts. Ask for a big fucking picture of Paddington with the latest celebrity who’s died. Ask for an opinion because you don’t have any of your own. Ask nicely for every ounce of creativity and imagination that the human race has honed and developed over millennia since the first sentient being drew a circle on a rock with the burnt end of a stick to be stamped on and spat on and tenderised like a cheap burger then gobbled up and shat out. Ask for a shortcut. Ask to not use your brain. Ask to piss on everyone who is trying to scrape by with their artistic talent and consign to the rubbish heap their only way to make a living. Ask for every question you ask to throw a little more coal on the raging fire that is the burning planet. I chose not to ask. I chose something else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you've got art?
