German ballet director suspended over feces attack on critic | AP News

I guess German ballet directors don't take any crap from critics. They smear it on their faces.

BERLIN (AP) — A German newspaper critic had animal feces smeared on her face in the city of Hannover by a ballet director who apparently took offense at a review she wrote.

The Hannover state opera house apologized for the incident and said Monday that it was suspending ballet director Marco Goecke with immediate effect.

The daily Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung reported that a furious Goecke approached its dance critic, Wiebke Huester, during the interval of a premiere at Hannover’s opera house on Saturday and asked what she was doing there. It said that the two didn’t know each other personally.

The newspaper said that Goecke, who apparently felt provoked by a recent review she wrote of a production he staged in the Dutch seat of government, The Hague, threatened to ban her from the ballet and accused her of being responsible for people canceling season tickets in Hannover.

He then pulled out a paper bag with animal feces and smeared her face with the contents before making off through a packed theater foyer, the newspaper said. Huester identified the substance as dog feces and said she had filed a criminal complaint, German news agency dpa reported.

The German journalists’ association DJV denounced the attack.

“An artist must tolerate criticism, even if it seems exaggerated,” the union’s regional head in Lower Saxony state, Frank Rieger, said. “Whoever reacts violently to criticism is unacceptable. The attack on the ... journalist is also an attack on press freedom.”

It's always a bit worrisome whenever German artists get angry about something.

It's worrisome anytime any of them get angry. Even if they aren't starting a world war, you might lose some of your hearing over their booming, loud voice thing. And to make it more worrisome, even if anger isn't involved beer probably is.

I asked you.com's AI and ChatGPT the following question: What is the emotional payoff for telling someone about the hobby the person is not interested in?

you.com responded:

The emotional payoff for telling someone about a hobby that they are not interested in can vary. For some people, it may provide a sense of satisfaction in sharing something they enjoy with another person, even if that person does not share the same level of interest. For others, it may provide a sense of accomplishment in having educated someone about something that they might not have previously been aware of. Ultimately, the emotional payoff will depend on the individual, but the general idea is that it can be rewarding to share something that you are passionate about, even if the other person is not as interested.

The emotional payoff for telling someone about a hobby they are not interested in can vary depending on the individual and the situation. Here are a few possible scenarios:
  1. Sharing your passion: If the hobby is something that you are deeply passionate about, simply talking about it can be a source of emotional fulfillment. Sharing your enthusiasm with someone else, even if they don't share your interest, can be a way to connect with others and express yourself.
  2. Seeking validation: In some cases, people may share their hobbies with others in an attempt to seek validation or approval. They may hope that the other person will appreciate their hobby and acknowledge its value, which can make them feel good about themselves and their interests.
  3. Generating interest: Sometimes people share their hobbies with others in the hopes of generating interest and getting others to join in. They may feel that their hobby is something that others would enjoy if only they knew more about it, and they may hope to inspire others to give it a try.
  4. Bonding with others: Finally, some people may share their hobbies with others simply as a way to bond and connect with them. Even if the other person isn't interested in the hobby itself, they may be interested in learning more about the person and their interests, which can create a sense of connection and closeness.

What is the DSM category for excessive interest in machines?

Excessive interest in machines is not currently classified as a mental disorder in the DSM-5, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders [1][2]. However, it may be classified as a form of obsessive-compulsive disorder, as it can be characterized by persistent, intrusive thoughts and behaviors related to machines.

(compared to:)

The DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition) does not have a specific category for excessive interest in machines. However, it does include a diagnostic category called "obsessive-compulsive and related disorders" which includes several disorders that might involve excessive preoccupation with particular objects or activities.

One disorder that might be relevant to excessive interest in machines is "hoarding disorder." People with hoarding disorder have persistent difficulty discarding or parting with possessions, regardless of their actual value, due to a perceived need to save them, a fear of losing them, or a strong attachment to them. In some cases, people with hoarding disorder might collect or hoard objects related to machines or technology.

It's important to note, however, that simply having a strong interest in machines does not necessarily indicate a mental disorder. Only when such an interest interferes with a person's daily functioning, causes distress, or meets the criteria for a specific disorder as outlined in the DSM-5, would a diagnosis be appropriate.
