cc COMMUNICATION - Charles Bukowski

0:15 No gods.
0:19 I go with Ibsen's
0:21 'the strongest men are without gods'
0:25 I think it was Ibsen
0:28 if it wasn't, whoever said it was a fine gentleman
0:38 So when you talk about the gods, it's mostly about your luck
0:41 and you talk very often about the luck
0:44 The luck.
0:45 The luck.
0:47 And luck..
0:49 we can go into that for centuries
0:54 it's talent mixed with circumstance mixed with..
0:59 being there at a certain spot when somebody is looking at you
1:13 That's all. I have no more to say.
1:15 You seem to have many people that are..
1:19 No. There isn't any undiscovered talent laying around under the bushes.
1:29 It's just not there.
1:30 In fact as time goes more and more on
1:33 there seems to be an attrition of natural creative talent
1:40 I guess it is the crush of the numbers upon the earth
1:45 and also the fact that
1:48 we're all narrowed down through shit like television, newspapers, communication
1:55 Communication is the greatest destroyer of talent because it makes everybody like everybody lse
2:02 and the only way a child who..
2:06 (you must start as a child to become original)
2:10 is to be shut out from these forces of communication
2:19 and the only way you can do that is
2:21 to have cruel parents
2:22 to be buried underground for six months
2:24 or something terrible.
2:28 The brilliant child cannot be brilliant because he's taught to be brilliant
2:34 you see, he must be the counterpart of all these forces that are telling him what to do.
2:42 It gets harder and harder for a child to become individual
2:46 because they're more and more melded together into one piece
2:51 so as time goes on and on
2:53 it'll be more and more difficult
2:56 we're gonna have to look in little places in Africa and then
3:02 ok this sounds very dismal but that's it
3:06 the chance for genius becomes less and less
3:10 the others say it becomes more and more
3:12 but it's the same kind of genius that they agree with
3:15 you see?
3:17 The true genius like Idi Amin, Adolf Hitler and Charles Bukowski will become less and less and less.
3:26 Further questions?
