- dingaling 9y agoAn F-22 is, regardless of its function, one of the most complicated devices ever created by man. In that sense it is an example of the combined 'art' of the skills of many thousands of highly-skilled individuals. In past centuries cathedrals were hailed as the masterpieces of the skills of craftsmen.
- speedplane 9y agoF-22s are cool, but sadly, probably won't hold their value as well as a DaVinci.
- zxcmx 9y agoYeah the F-22 really is useless without a military industrial complex behind it. And a defense use. Sort of a parable about modern products really. Self driving cars with no maps, phones with no updates, no app store. Our best products are really infrastructure products, supported by a cast of thousands. But the painting stands on its own and a decent pair of leather shoes will get you from a to b just as well as they did centuries ago. If I remember rightly the most universal item of soldier's kit throughout all history was the spoon.
- olympus 9y agoWell I think having a hangar with three F-22's in it would be pretty dang artistic. We're talking about spending money on frivolous stuff, at least mine can be used for transportation.
