"Logic is actually very emotional"...A lot of my male friends describe to be their relationship with logic as very cathartic and indescribable, but whenever they explain it, it's simultaneously very vague and very specific. If this question itself isn't vague, can you describe you relation to logic?
i think that quote you used was actually my response to a question that tried to somehow pit 2 elements of reality against each other, and i think i was trying my best to sort of put them back together again. neither of those 2 elements really makes sense on its own

Is it true that you don't play guitar in your videos cause you don't know how to play it well?
i do play guitar in videos where applicable. (a good example is in crazy/raining). but all of the music is actually all done on keyboard. i don't delve into any audio recording (except for vocals). given the time constraints, and the fact that i'm working alone, an all-midi approach is so right for me in so many ways.
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2016-05.html
What confuses you about the concept of favourites?
most things are made up of so many different elements, many of which can be so likable and/or unlikable in so many different ways. even if you could figure out whether you 'like' an entire thing, then you would have to figure out if you actually like it more or less than another thing. and then on top of that, you expect that to never change? it's a mindfuck.

"because infinite universes do and can exist, they have to all be right." please can you elaborate? I know you elaborate with your music, videos, website etc. but can you offer a little more text to describe what you mean? Why, in particular, do they 'have to all be right'?

In your 'movies' video did you choose the featured movies for any particular reason (maybe that you liked them?) or were they just arbitrary choices?
by that point, i was well into emergency "crunch time" mode, trying to finish vines as fast as humanly possible in order to make time to work on an extremely long video i was trying to get started. ideally for that vine i would have found a broad range of different movies, but instead i just grabbed them all from the same page, literally the first page i found with a lot of movie images. as a result, i think they are all 2013 movies

"i will have my own music and visual studio..i will also have a great band and live show" this imperative attitude is commonplace for people who achieve brilliant things. Is it something you've always had or have you taught yourself this strong self-belief? I struggle with self-esteem issues,you see
expressing things to a wide audience is the only way i can get my life to make sense. so it's worth a shot
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2016-05.html
How did you help yourself break out of the 'norm' and go into the uncharted part of the human life? You seem to have realized a special attitude towards the tried and tested very young in your life and would love to know what factors helped you be brave enough to live up to the ideology.
the fact that i never really fit in pushed me that way. i spent a lot of time learning music (only on instruments) at a very young age, and avoiding anything 'popular.' then sometime when i was a teenager i just snapped and said wait a minute, what's popular? more specifically, where is the real cutting edge? i was a little disappointed to realize that most of what's popular is usually actually not the cutting edge ... but i began searching for the cutting edge, whatever that should be. and i sort of tumbled into a huge search, which finally cumulated in the realization that because infinite universes do and can exist, they have to all be right. and that exploded into some heavy ideas about what this all means and why we're here. i've spent my entire life since then trying to figure out how to explain that. what makes that challenging is the fact that the only way to actually explain it is to prove that it has already been explained
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2016-05.html

You may have answered this already but can you recommend any artists that do a similar musical style to you?
