Truth, Art, and Delusion

The value of art, and particularly that of the evolution of music into the art of sound, is in its power to illuminate, by logical extension, the future.


Current social conditions are always the results of causes and their effects, and to simply envision them clearly makes it possible, with courage, to avoid much that need not become problematic.

Whenever the human condition is held to be something it is not and never will be, paroxysms of hubris emboldened by ignorance follow. One cannot allow absurdity to go unchallenged without knowing what to expect.
