if you let the post modernists ideas in, that is what you will believe. Everything you do can be a hit or miss. It is hard to achieve eternal glory my friend. You will think someone like Warhol is not relevant, I think you are wrong, Warhol just became a different identity all together, advertising. He is advertising now, the repetitive ads, you see, he is living in the background, that's what most people don't see. Those advertising cucks are just Warhol offspring, it takes a certain kind of evil, well mostly money, to embrace yourself in advertising, you are either doing advertising for corporations who are selling shit and sus products or helping government so propaganda, that's essentially their job right now, remember it was the advertisers who came up with shit like smoking is a feminist right. Pure fucking evil that's what they are. Yeah they made history, the kind that cause continuation of death, the unintended consequences of advertising can be still felt today and very much shaped our fucked up corrupt culture. Imagine a bunch of highly intelligent people doing art and copy for a messaging so successful that decades even people are still dying from cigarettes. If you ask me, that is the dark side of Warhol, he like Muhammad didn't have a successor and the power gap he created when he die, was replaced by these fucked up advertisers. I worked as one before and I learn their fuck up ways, even if you give them the benefit of a doubt, the best take you could give them, they are still selling their soul doing something they probably don't feel good, in fact they often are in conflict with each other, the sad part is they are creative people being used by corporations and governments to do the more insidious shit of manipulating the masses. And they know it works because they have metrics for it. Part of me blame Warhol for not thinking ahead, but part of me also understand he hated the society.
