But what works comes solely from the human mind and can it ever be truly
shared by humanity who's own reasoning and perception will transform the
meaning of that work?
Actually, I don't think I want to get into it. It is a nice quote and I want
to agree with it but it's that whole "what is art/artistic expression" and
semiotics and perception and psychology stuff which gets very very very
boring [except for us who are intrigued by it in a somewhat compulsive,
almost autistic, way] and I think the reason we ended up with the world we
are in was because most people couldn¹t actually agree and so they came up
with laws to force us to agree on some basic things. And so that people who
couldn't be bothered with those arguments could get along with their own
existence perfectly content that someone else was worrying about the big
issues for them... That was the Greeks philosophers... Then the Romans came
along and spoiled it all. I mean, what have the Romans ever done for us?

Have you noticed that no matter if a person, a company, or a country
succeeds or fails, lawyers always have work?

What an excellent suggestion: My names muffin and I'm a capitalist. No,
wait, I'm a marxist. Oh, no, sorry, I'm an anarchist. Oh, no. I'm a
mentalist. Yes. That will do.
Sorry. I'm a bit bored.
