I didn't consider it self-praise, I felt it was important context prior to his departure. Leaving a company with your work in formal good standing is a very different choice from leaving a company where you were struggling to get the j

The responses here decrying the cost of the artwork and suggesting replacement with prints denies any and all value to artworks as profound objects, and could easily be as mis-applied to museums themselves. For those lacking understanding o

You mention the art on the walls and the koi pond as if they are spurious examples of unnecessary spending, when many studies point to the great value in such environmental factors in healing.

Deeply thought-provoking. Confronts difficult issues and makes logical, compelling and important arguments. May have to think about all this a little differently now.

Am a big fan of this approach, I've slipped into this intense focus / distant reflection practice over the years without knowing why or how it worked. It's wonderful to see it formalised and be able to communicate its value.

To be clear, only some parts of astrology pretend to predict the future through mystical means. Just as some parts of religion insist their version is the only truth. So I believe the most reasoned response on these topics will depend on wh

My point is he used an artform to inspire his art, and we all should be afforded that privilege. Yes I believe art is a good thing, whether it turns you into a murderer or a saint is a different topic.

There is an approach of modern astrology that is not predictive and mystical, and that appeals to many because it is non-judgemental and makes no scientific claim for itself. It's not a scam or a swindle, it's only claim is being
