Post pictures of people whose substance you admire
 Richard P. Feynman   Kurt Vonnegut Jr.  Pablo Picasso |
 Isaac Asimov  Albert Einstein |
 Isaac Newton  Charles Darwin  Nicholas Copernicus |
Isn't it the same as style though? In reality style could be the substance said person has created. That's just my opinion.
|
    |
style is surface visual. purely superficial, easily copied, easily forgotten, easily re-created. (ask maclaren and his rip-off of Richard Hell's "style)
substance is the actual matter that a person is made of, the REAL DEAL, their mind, thoughts, ideas, knowledge, wisdom, creations, etc. |
baudelaire looks like a USA president from the 1800's.
|
But isn't that part of what you said the superficial? A lot of people embody thoughts, ideas, wisdom, creation, etc. They use style to lure a person into what they are trying to say.

embodying thoughts ideas wisdom creation is NOT style man. style is bullshit fashion. style is fucking MEANINGLESS. |

"Now, if it is deemed necessary that I should forfeit my life for the furtherance of the ends of justice, and mingle my blood farther with the blood of my children and the blood of millions in this slave country whose rights are disregarded by wicked, cruel, and unjust enactments, I say let it be done.." John Brown before his execution
  Vincente Guerrero, the second president of mexico, half-black, was deposed and executed in six monthes for attempting to free the slaves and remove the caste laws that subjugated the indians.  marcus mosiah garvey. whether you know and accept it or not, we might still live in a world of jim crowe and apartheid if it were not for marcus garvey, the first black man to organize the masses. |
