Immersed in cultural settings, many, including large populations, refuse to reason altogether.
The impermanent contemporary norms are neither questioned nor challenged; the sole real need of one and all so subjected is to conform. In such a benighted state one cannot even comprehend the previous sentence, and the very idea of becoming engaged by an authentic experience of art or the critical perception of challenging music is ludicrous.
The artist who is not cognizant of these facts is doing no more than wasting time.
Only the individual is capable of realizing the gravity of the situation through objective observation, and only then is it possible to take the difficult steps necessary to remove oneself from these chains.
