This is Chapter 8 from A Practical Guide to Supernatural Genius.
It’s about fear — and how it quietly kills art, momentum, and heart.
Every creative life is a tug-of-war between fear and boldness.
And boldness doesn’t usually arrive through confidence — it arrives through volume.
Inspired by Andy Warhol and his idea of being “deeply superficial,” this chapter reframes creativity for the age of platforms, algorithms, and constant self-judgment.
Warhol didn’t wait to feel ready.
He didn’t pretend not to care.
He made more art while people decided whether it was good or bad.
Today, TikTok, YouTube, Instagram — these are the new factories.
The new urinals.
Stop sneering. Sign them.
This chapter is about:
why fear thrives on overthinking
why volume beats perfection
why embarrassment might be the new credibility
and how repetition lets depth emerge on its own
Make stuff.
While they say it sucks, make more stuff.
