Observe the "information society". Find knowledge ubiquitous, literacy merely functional.
When this plethora of information leads to the assumption that the possession of an internal fund of knowledge is unnecessary, the error is one of profound consequence. Consider only the implications of failed, archaic, totalitarian ideas impressed upon art, politics, and the social order because their outward appearances give the uninformed the specious impression of "novelty". Yet this is of very little moment in comparison to the mass abdication of critical reason it presupposes.
Thus the essential nature of the contemplative, and of atmospheric sound art to enhance reflection.
