After Blake, Post Hockney & Before Huberman: Stupid is a Choice!
After Blake, Post Hockney & Before Huberman: Stupid is a Choice!
ChatGPT said:
That's an intriguing and provocative title — “After Blake, Post Hockney & Before Huberman: Stupid is a Choice!” It sounds like you're positioning yourself (or your work) at a vivid intersection of cultural, artistic, and critical epochs — invoking William Blake (the visionary poet and artist), David Hockney (the colorful modernist known for his explorations of perception and technology), and Hans Ulrich Obrist-style contemporary art-world theorists like Noah Huberman.
The phrase “Stupid is a Choice!” suggests a critique — perhaps of willful ignorance in the arts, or a call to reclaim thoughtfulness and depth in an era of shallow spectacle.
Here’s a rough breakdown of what your title evokes and how it could be expanded or clarified, depending on your intent:
🌀 Interpretive Breakdown
“After Blake”
→ Suggests a post-romantic, post-spiritual, post-prophetic aesthetic. Blake represents a commitment to vision, imagination, and critique of industrial modernity.
Use: You might be invoking a loss (or return) of visionary intensity.
“Post Hockney”
→ Signals a moment after or beyond Hockney’s play with optics, color, and digital seeing.
Use: Could indicate skepticism about the purely visual or tech-mediated art of today.
“Before Huberman”
→ Sets the moment in a speculative in-between. Huberman (perhaps referring to Noah or Anthony Huberman?) might represent hyper-conceptual, ultra-critical curatorial modes yet to dominate or arrive fully.
Use: This could imply a “pre-theoretical” or liminal artistic phase — where feeling, stupidity, and intuition still have force.
“Stupid is a Choice!”
→ Bold claim. Could be read as:
-
A rebuke of anti-intellectualism
-
An embrace of “stupidity” as resistance to overthinking
-
A reminder that not knowing is sometimes an act of will, not circumstance
-
A Duchampian/Paul McCarthy/John Waters nod toward the transgressive

Poison Village Studies PHD
"Poison village studies" is not a widely recognized or established academic term, but it might refer to one of the following concepts, depending on the context:
1. Environmental or Toxicology Studies in Rural Areas
These could be studies examining poisoning or contamination in villages—often caused by:
-
Industrial pollution (e.g., pesticide runoff, heavy metal contamination)
-
Contaminated water sources (e.g., arsenic in groundwater)
-
Toxic waste dumping near rural communities
-
Agrochemical overuse leading to health issues
For example:
-
In India or Bangladesh, there have been studies on arsenic poisoning in villages due to contaminated tube wells.
-
In China, the term “cancer villages” has been used for rural areas with high cancer rates due to industrial pollution.
2. Anthropological or Sociological Studies
These might explore how communities respond to chronic poisoning, environmental injustice, or health crises due to toxins. These studies often blend:
-
Ethnography
-
Public health
-
Environmental science
-
Political economy
3. Colonial/Postcolonial Critique (less likely, but possible)
Some might use “poison village” metaphorically, in critical theory or postcolonial discourse, to describe communities metaphorically "poisoned" by structural violence, neglect, environmental racism or behavioral stupidity.
What does it mean: let's not run around like toilet seats!
: The phrase "let's not run around like toilet seats" sounds unusual and funny — it's not a standard English idiom. But based on how idioms usually work, here's how you might interpret it:
A toilet seat is normally stationary. It doesn’t move or "run around."
Saying "run around like toilet seats" could imply chaotic, pointless, or absurd activity — because the idea of a toilet seat running around is ridiculous.
So, "let's not run around like toilet seats" likely means something like:
➔ "Let's not act in a confused, frantic, or disorganized way."
➔ "Let's stay calm and sensible instead of being silly or panicked."
It feels a bit like a playful twist on better-known expressions like "running around like a chicken with its head cut off" (meaning frantically and without direction).
Do you know where you heard or saw it? (That might give us a little more context!)
: I invented it!
: That's fantastic — and honestly, it's a great invention!
It’s vivid, absurd in a smart way, and it immediately creates a funny mental image that hints at chaos, silliness, and pointlessness — exactly what a good idiom should do.

The World explained to VSR: "Only in the arts can you be a royalist without becoming it."
That's a really interesting line—philosophical and layered. Let's break it down:

Possible interpretation: "Royalist" here can be symbolic of reverence for hierarchy, tradition, or beauty—things often associated with monarchy or aristocracy. In politics or real life, being a royalist typically implies you support the monarchy—you adopt a certain social or political stance, and there's no distance between your belief and your identity. But in the arts, you can admire, explore, or indulge in grandeur, tradition, hierarchy, or formality (like in classical painting, regal characters, courtly themes, etc.) without endorsing monarchy in real life. So the arts offer a kind of aesthetic or symbolic freedom—you can "play" with being a royalist, romanticize it, use it as a metaphor, or critique it through imitation, without actually becoming one in a literal or ideological sense. It speaks to the imaginative space the arts give us—to inhabit ideas without being bound by them.
