critique of culture and art
The Arts and other Social Diseases
Art arrives abstracted and objectified into a poor substitute for real human presence, even in the presence of humans. The arts are a freakish sideshow. It’s a tonic for the troops that detracts from the barren terrain of everyday life. Students of the arts are the only masturbators to act as carriers of social disease.
The author would like to thank the Institute of Comparative Boredom for hot meals and counselling.
