Description
Guided exploration? Or gentle persuasion?Whichever, clearly out of fashion. Nowadays other people’s opinions are pure inconvenience.
Within the culture of mass marketing, to entertain them earnestly is considered quaint at best.
Nuisances, rather, to be dispatched as quickly as possible:
Nothing that I think matters so long as, when I act, I act in your best interests, to increase your wealth and power,
which means – more often than not and essentially – in my own worst interests.
A surprisingly easy thing to convince me to do.
Madison Avenue, not the Athenian Agora.

Still one of my favorites of yours. There is something so beautifully classical in your pose that it seems to have been lifted straight from one of the master's works from the Renaissance.

thank you too for letting me use your awesome photo. I am glad you like it. It was hard and challenging to draw. It took me about 12 hours, because I had to measure the proportions and figure out how to do the shading and stuff.Anyway, I really like the photo, very inspiring image, good stuff.

The pose is awesome. The hands especially remind me of the "socratic method." It seems that in his left hand he holds one argument and in the right he suggests another alternative ("but, rather, isn't it that...?") I really like the lighting and black and white processing, too. It seems reminiscent of Greek sculpture!
