Art

I dislike the term “art”. Good art is not artificial. Artists would be better off spending their time learning how to see and teaching this skill to others. Don’t bother creating new things, unless it’s needed as an implement of teaching (for example, agriculture, writing and the printing press are useful inventions—but oil paints, guitars and sofas are not). Muslims are right about music: there is no reason to listen to human-made music, except perhaps as an exercise for listening to the breath (my favorite band is Wardruna).
