Something I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve discovered when it comes to creators online:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Practically all creators now are motivated and incentivized by how they can serve (same word from \u00e2\u20ac\u0153slave\u00e2\u20ac\u009d) others.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Nietzsche had a version of this thought which was:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When I judge the artwork of an artist, I wonder \u00e2\u20ac\u201d did he create out of abundance or need?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
What\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the difference?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Many artists (Edgar Allen Poe, etc) create in order to rid themselves of their personal misery. Whereas other artists (JAY Z<\/a>) create art works based on their feelings of exalted overabundance. They give not from this altruistic motive, but rather:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m dope, what I create is dope, and I share it with others because I must.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Of course embedded in this, the artist\u00c2\u00a0knows<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0he or she will end up contributing some altruistic effect. But this isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t the primary motivator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lesson<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The lesson is this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Never create something with the hope that others will like it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Instead, only create what impels you<\/em> \u00e2\u20ac\u201d then<\/em> share it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
