RE: some thoughts on Ted's queeries about art and self esteem and, oh yeah, looping

[Tim Nelson <psychle62@yahoo.com>]

The apparent contradiction implied there is consistent
with something I've observed in myself and in many
people a lot more creative than I am (musicians,
looping or non-looping, visual artists, writers,
etc.), which is a low self-image/poor self-esteem
coupled with a robust ego, sort of like a
non-homogenous confidence. Maybe we could call it
'paradoxymoronia'...

It's the 'artistic temperament' thing. "I know my
ideas are brilliant, but I'm probably wrong about
that."
