David Lynch is a true auteur. He's fascinating and so is his work.
His films gave me a whole new look on the film genre and I love him for that.
I live by this philosophy so much. Fishing for ideas is such a wonderful thing.
This video singlehandedly made me go up 12 rungs on the ladder of enlightenment. I salute you, crendor.
His hair is too cool. I attempt to wear mine like that every time its short enough.
I will cut my hair into that style next summer.
I am becoming increasingly in love with this man
I'm bingeing on Lynch vids atm. He's quite relaxing and reassuring to listen to.
that hair is goddamn fantastic
this man is important
The mind fish have sprouted from the tree of knowladge to form guy hero

Born to a middle class family in Missoula, Montana, Lynch spent his childhood travelling around the United States, before going on to study painting at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia, where he first made the transition to producing short films. Deciding to devote himself more fully to this medium, he moved to Los Angeles, where he produced his first motion picture, the surrealist horror Eraserhead (1977).
he.is.fucking.genius. LOVE HIM!
east coast directors are amazing!
Interesting!
Now i know why you reason the way you do on the Cox'n Crendor podcast :O
Crendor was right about this guy... He's absolutely amazing. I wish I could explode like a fish idea with electricty and light or... whatever he said.
Haha
This is almost identical to Aristotle’s theory of the ideas. It’s actually quite remarkable.
This is completely platonic
@@Qliphirot I’m actually of the opinion that the two are not so drastically different in their neo/Classical forms. The reason Aristotle came to mind is because in Greek, “the forms” are εἶδος/εἴδη/ideas (same word Plato uses too), although the Aristotelian tradition evolved into a more quasi-realist direction, where reality is something one participates in, but also, the mind gives meaning to reality by understanding the ideas as they come in. Lynch’s views here are even closer, because he talks about the ideas as if they are foreign possibilities that spontaneously enter the mind from some kind of intellectual source of ideas. Obviously, very similar to Plato here, but Aristotle didn’t think the ideas actually existed except mentally. Plato thought there were literally concrete ideas like 3-ness or redness in a heaven of ideas. However, Platonism was developed later and gradually grew closer to the place Aristotelianism ended up. I believe they are equivalent - for all intents and purposes - in their later classical forms. Beautiful theories!
@@sergiodavila3290 Apparently many artists have similar concepts about where their ideas come from. Are you familiar with Alan Moore's work? Alan Moore has a very similar theory about the creative process, he came up with a concept called "Idea-space". Instead of using transcendental meditation, like Lynch does to catch his "fish", he uses other devices to delve deep into this "idea-space", like magick rituals or say entheogens. Check it out, he talks about it on his own documentary and many magazines.
@@Qliphirot I didn’t recognize the name (shamefully), but I am very familiar with his mainstream work. I’ve only read the Killing Joke, but I’ve watched Watchmen and V for Vendetta. I didn’t know these all came from the same mind, so I will reflect on that for a bit. All of these works were compelling. I agree with you, that does sound very similar to Lynch as well. I honestly and strongly believe that the reason we see so many people converge on the same concept is because that is a real concept. It’s reality. It’s similar to how Pascal’s triangle appears in Chinese texts, Indian texts, and Newton independently developed the concept. Reality has an objective character that we can all understand by interacting with it and contemplating it. It is mysterious, but also extremely rational. Beauty and Art is more of an abstract slice of reality, but I’ve heard physicist and Nobel laureate Murray Gell-Mann talk about the odd relation between Reality and Beauty. Like when Richard Dawkins said “Science is interesting, and if you don’t agree, you can f*ck off.” Hilariously, I think that’s actually profound. While tastes are subjective, there is an objective character about Beauty precisely because it emerges from our experience with objective reality. Math, science, art, music, dance, poetry, film, etc. This is Beauty. Anyone who disagrees just isn’t honest. That’s why they can f*ck off, respectively.
@slonamu the guy started making films in philly before moving to LA. hence East Coast
It's like his hair is on backwards.
best comment. ever. and true.
Stop listening to HOW he's saying this, listen to what he's actually saying. He's offering some great knowledge and you're going to miss out on it if you're focusing on his speaking abilities.
Listen to your idea, is what he's saying, I believe.
Or his hair.
you sent me here
somehow the whole spiel makes sense
what did jesse say about it
I need to brush my teeth.
I would like to have that hair.
Did you finally achieve having that hair?
He grill - R
never heard him speak before.. odd voice but like what he says
It is genius
Jesse's right.
Ideas are like girlfriends. They are wonderful and beautiful, but you don't know how to get a good one.
crendor, you should style your hair like this guy
The stuff he says wouldn't sound so crazy if he didn't speak in run on sentences.
Hey asshole, there’s a gap between your 2 last words! 🤓
oooh you think you are creative bro?
pop vulture blog? Ha good one
He looks super wasted.
all these artists say this, idk if it's humility or what, but none of it has literally any basis in neuroscience or cognitive science. Ideas are spit out by your brain, it's a thinking machine, it's not tuning into some idea well. It just feels external bc it starts in preconsciousness.
It feels external because it's alla based on influences and impulses from the external world, and the idea is basically your way of interpreting them, so they don't really start out of nothing
Is he insane jw
A sane man in an insane world.
