Lesson 10: Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Tuesday, January 24, 2006


Double digits! Well, I have to say, I'm proud of our curriculum so far. We do have a very well-rounded offering. Reductio ad Absurdum has discussed, in order:

1. Religion
2. Showbiz
3. Politics
4. Job Resignation
5. The Evolution / ID Debate
6. Cooking, Literature, and History
7. Philosophy
8. Idiocy
9. Music

Not bad. One of my favorite topics is missing, though: Art. Well, not anymore! I have no idea who Caulder of caulder.com is, especially since it ain't exactly the most up-to-date site in the web, but it earns a place here due to its Museum. Most of the pictures are less "WOW!" and more "WTF?!", but I can't help but like his explanation for one of his museums:

This is simply a repository for cultural detritus. Perhaps the most important criteria by which the collection is selected is an item's relationship between intent, execution, and meaning. At some point, the axes where these three factors intersected was clearly defined and appropriate, at least subjectively. When observed objectively, or at least away from the original subjectivity, the artifact's true absurdity becomes the fourth, and primary, point of intersection.

Thanks for the insight Caulder, whoever you are.

Lesson: it doesn't take much for something to be called "art".
