In episode 9 of "There Is No System," titled "The Artist's Dilemma: Expressing Beliefs through Creativity" host Brian Behm, an Austin-based motion designer, artist, musician, and Art Director at Emergent Order Foundation, delves into the intricate balance between artistic creativity and personal ideologies. Drawing from his experiences in the art world and as the art department head at Rooster Teeth, Brian reflects on the constant mental tug-of-war between one's artistic soul and ideological brain.This episode unpacks the inherent struggle in creating art that genuinely reflects personal beliefs without succumbing to societal pressures or ideological tribes. It discusses the challenges faced by artists who straddle different viewpoints, especially those leaning towards classical liberalism or other non-dominant ideologies. Brian emphasizes the importance of fostering a marketplace of ideas, advocating for a creative expression that's not bound by a single narrative or ideology.Exploring concepts like intersectionality and epistemic humility, Brian proposes recontextualizing these ideas to enhance artistic expression. He shares his journey of balancing risk-taking in art with personal and familial considerations, illustrating the tightrope walk between daring creativity and societal acceptance.The episode aims to empower artists to embrace their unique blend of creativity and personal beliefs, encouraging them to stir the pot of conventional artistic expression. Brian's goal is to ignite a dialogue about the role of gatekeeping in the arts and its impact on creative freedom, urging listeners to reflect on their own artistic journeys and the influences shaping them.Written and performed by Brian Behm Original Music (unless noted) by Brian Behm/No_System Stock Music provided through AudiiioMusic Included In This EpisodeQue Parks - Unlock (Get Ready For It)(Instrumental)Adi Goldstein - Inspiring Heights (Pt.2)(Instrumental)Adi Goldstein - Morning Spring (Instrumental)Adi Goldstein - Magic Hour (Instrumental)(Loop)Adi Goldstein - Safe Ride Home (vers 1)Beach Tiger - Numb (Instrumental)Liam Back - Innocence (Instrumental)Rhodan - Bloom (Instrumental)The Purple Kite - It's Time To Start Something New (Instrumental)The Prams - Now That We're Far (Instrumental)Yair Cohen - Haze (Instrumental)-- clips used or referencedThe Crow Hill Company: Make Music, YOUR Music.https://youtu.be/D7tCNqmp6f0?si=WfqJeRkMZlgEKWV1Death of a Salesman Trailerhttps://youtu.be/zsJhonpcetk?si=vEtCArr5Ao4D-Ub6Cars Sink Through Ice on Lake Pepinhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suwAK7y0QdcTruck Falls Through Ice on Lake Hanska in Southern Minnesotahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOvCRMHWBokHarvard, Hamas, and the Barbaric Death Of Discourse In The Westhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6noX5AUuzwU&t=1sThe Walkhttps://www.y—- Take a look at No_System’s apparel and accessories at nosysknows.com ——- Transcripts available at nosysknows.com/podcast ——- Please like and review on your favorite podcast platform of choice.

Tired of the same old, same old? In this fresh episode of the No_System podcast, we’re slicing through the fluff and getting down to brass tacks about time preference. It's all about the slow burn versus the quick fix in the creative world.We're not just tossing around highfalutin economic theory for kicks—We're looking to the big brain moves of Eugen Böhm-Bawerk. You're an artist, not a day trader, right? So why rush your masterpiece like a two-for-one sale at the dollar store?We spotlight legends like Banksy and Shepard Fairey to prove a point: playing the long game in art is like investing in a solid gold chain. It just doesn’t lose its shine. We're serving up the kind of content that’s meant to stick around, not just stick for now.We're not just here to preach. You'll get the real deal—tips on juggling your need for bread with your dream of leaving a mark.And since we’re all about that action, step up and take our challenge. Go dust off that big idea you shelved and start sculpting it into something that’ll echo through the ages—or at least outlive the latest meme.Before you dash off to make your mark, hit up nosysknows.com. Grab some gear as unique as your fingerprint and as loud as your art. It’s not just merch; it’s a statement that you’re part of a tribe that values freedom, expression, and a good chuckle at the system's expense.This is the No_System podcast—no gatekeeping, no ivory towers, just real talk and a good laugh, where all rights are reserved, and all lefts are celebrated.©2023 Brian Behm Creative. —- Take a look at No_System’s apparel and accessories at nosysknows.com ——- Transcripts available at nosysknows.com/podcast ——- Please like and review on your favorite podcast platform of choice.
