Modern Art is Sh*t

[pbrower2a]

An extreme abstraction, fractals, can be art. Some of those are incredibly beautiful. Because a person establishes a program to generate the art and edits to select it, fractals are art. Esthetic rules can be applied to any school of art.



   Here is a precedent from a mosque in Turkey:






   I try to not over complicate things when they can be distilled to their essence quickly--it saves energy for dialectical analysis of economic and social issues (of which being an ML or not being an ML by others is not such an issue).
   There remains some irreducible complexity in all human matters. A snake might be nearly an automaton, but people are not automatons unless they are mentally impaired, drugged, or enslaved. Life is not entirely economic (try explaining love) or the consequence of social relationships of power and powerlessness. Can you explain why my brother (hard rock) and I ("hard Bach") share practically no taste in music? It's not one of the obvious determiners of musical taste. We have the same origin and similar intelligence.

   Here is some neo-classical junk:
