There is no such thing as art without a human on one end of the line and a human on the other end. In communication with each other.
A city that exists There is no such thing as art without a human on one end of the line and a human on the other end. In communication with each other. Like a closed electric circuit (?) I could explain that better but I spent my life appreciating art. There are pieces of writing that stand on their own without any supplementary information but there's a reason that when we read a classic poem or short story we usually soon after want to know when and where and under which conditions it was written. Same with music. You can hear a song you like and appreciate it knowing little but the first question people often ask when you play them something by a new band is where are they from? It’s funny that you should ask because they are from a city that exists. Art is a conversation where the particulars of the world are made universal and the universal is made particular. Think about how powerful an engine of imagination it is for a young person hearing a band and learning that they are from some far off place – Tokyo or New York or even somewhere gross like the UK. It is a time portal. It is magic. It even works if the artist dead. So too with a painting. The little information plaque in the museum is an extraordinarily powerful tool. What if it said no one painted this nowhere? Well then you’d be looking at nothing. And now what would you be?

Hey do you feel sane? No?
Okay, don’t buy a water distiller.

It works great, but you’re gonna find out what’s in your tap water and you are NOT GOING TO LIKE IT.
A water distiller. A truth teller. A peace disturber. More information than you require to live a life of joy.

In 1990, an elementary school teacher won $16,500 on a game show, and used her winnings to publish a board game about the Exxon Valdez oil spill. This is her story.

I have seen the Star Trek (and even as a person who actually liked sillier episodes like Rascals or Move Along Home) I have some thoughts for Paramount:
