You're right. This is one of our greatest living artists, a human cultural treasure. We should weigh every word, every performance carefully. His work offers us incredible insight into ourselves.
Yet, is it perhaps possible that we should consider carefully how far the credibility he so justly deserves should extend. Someone with minimal qualifications talks of how his subjective experience should be considered objective, and some opine that this should be taken seriously on the basis of unrelated merit.
It hurts my head.
- moogly 8y agoSome of us don't even agree with the "one of the greatest living artists" part. Wholly subjective opinion.
- coldtea 8y agoI don't consider culture "wholly subjective". Just somewhat subjective. There are philistines and people who only care about Justin Bieber, and their aesthetic opinions are not equally valid to someone who is an expert on Bach. Of course that (culture) is a human construct, but so is physics and math. Animals don't have either, and the universe doesn't care either way.
