\n", "In designing the scenery and costumes for any of Shakespeare’s plays, the first thing the artist has to settle is the best date for the drama. This should be determined by the general spirit of the play, more than by any actual historical references which may occur in it. Most Hamlets I have seen were placed far too early. Hamlet is essentially a scholar of the Revival of Learning; and if the allusion to the recent invasion of England by the Danes puts it back to the ninth century, the use of foils brings it down much later. Once, however, that the date has been fixed, then the archæologist is to supply us with the facts which the artist is to convert into effects.

\n", " But in real life, sailors who insist on tearing holes in the ship because it’s “not the ocean” are the ones who drown first.\n", "\n", "\n", "The tragedy is not personal deprivation. I can endure that. It’s the sacrifice of excellence on the altar of scarcity. It’s watching a world-class mind slip through your fingers because you can’t afford their time. It’s sending a project into the world half-armored, because the full suit costs too much. It’s watching your castle crack because the master stonemason lives beyond your means. And it’s not just that you know you’re missing out—it’s that you know the world is missing out. There’s a specific kind of grief reserved for unbuilt masterpieces.\n", "\n", "\n", "```{raw} html\n", "\n", "\n", "\n", "```\n", "\n", "Money, for all its coarseness, is also an instrument of communion. It’s how we magnetize skill, summon minds, commission visions. When you lack it, you cannot simply substitute enthusiasm. Passion doesn’t pay rent. Dreams don’t sign contracts. You are left shouting from across a chasm, hoping someone hears—and then regretting their arrival, because you can’t afford to keep them close. That is the heartbreak: the knowledge that greatness was within reach, but your hands were tied by copper wires.\n", "\n", "When people romanticize constraint, they usually do so from a perch. “Limitations fuel creativity,” they say. And sometimes, yes, the friction of hardship can ignite sparks. But I am not speaking of poetic discipline. I am speaking of trying to compose a symphony with a broken piano and a deaf violinist. I am speaking of trying to lead a war with blunt spears. I am speaking of excellence choked by logistics. There’s a difference between self-imposed boundaries and imposed impoverishment.\n", "\n", "Some people accumulate wealth and never know what to do with it. That is its own kind of sadness. But worse, I think, is knowing *exactly* what to do with abundance and never touching it. I am haunted not by what I’ve lost, but what I could have summoned: the editor who could have chiseled my manuscript to brilliance, the engineer who could have built my fractal brain map, the set designer who could have translated metaphysics into matter. I see their faces, sometimes, in dreams—bright, agile, unfettered. And I wake up angry.\n", "\n", "There is a myth, mostly Western, that greatness is born in solitude. The lone genius in the attic, the solitary monk writing divine verses. But true brilliance is collaborative. It blooms in resonance. It thrives in tension. The best ideas don’t just require insight; they demand translation, execution, opposition. They need a team. A troop. A band of rebels with skills as sharp as their minds. Without them, your vision becomes a soliloquy. And art, in its highest form, is always a chorus.\n", "\n", "

\n", " Heritage\n", "\n", "People say “build with what you have.” I have. I do. But every patchwork solution is a reminder of the elegance that could have been. I’ve become masterful at compromise. That’s a badge I never wanted. The choreography of compromise is exhausting—the constant recalibration of ambition against feasibility. And it breeds a new kind of loneliness: not isolation, but the ache of being unseen *as you could be*.\n", "\n", "What pains me most is that some people assume this is about ego. It’s not. I don’t want talent to reflect me. I want it to *refine* me, to challenge and expand me. I want my blind spots lit up. I want the scaffolding of my ideas tested. I want to collaborate with those who are better than me in their domains. That is the joy of serious work: not being the smartest in the room, but knowing the room itself is smart, humming with force fields of intellect and intuition.\n", "\n", "There’s an exquisite cruelty in watching mediocrity ascend because it can afford the right PR team, while deep genius remains submerged, underfunded, invisible. Capitalism rewards distribution, not depth. It privileges the palatable over the profound. And unless you can assemble a forcefield of talent to counteract that bias, you remain shouting into the wind, eloquent but unheard.\n", "\n", "```{raw} html\n", "\n", "\n", "
