> some of the best new art happens in the most restrictive environments
You reminded me of Paul Buchanan, frontman of The Blue Nile, revealing that they would compose and rehearse standing shoulders to a wall in a narrow corridor in a house in Glasgow - that was the room they had.
I grew up real poor and it made me hungry. I think that's where a lot of the hacker mentality comes from, one form of poverty or another.
I am hoping to raise children soon and I am wondering how to help them to feel a hunger for the world without suffering in the same way I was raised. It's hard for me to imagine how they'll learn to thirst for the experience of the world if they don't have the same socioeconomic pressures, but I think that will be one of my most profound growing experiences in this life. I intend to accept them for who they are and to try to give them as much opportunity as they can stomach.
