To me, my views on these arts are as certain as a biologist's view on evolution. The layman may deny evolution because he has not the education nor the exposure to the overwhelmingly compelling evidence supporting it.

Oh, wow. Did you just ascribe to art and literature the same sort of rigor that we ascribe to science? That's priceless.

What's wrong with that?

Honest question.

Nothing wrong with it in my opinion. Art can be science. Science can be art. Often people see them as two very different languages. But, both still being languages to describe this world and its experiences, there's plenty of interesting and informing overlap. And I find arrogance and pretentiousness in both to be destructive to their exploration, as well as restricting other, foreign languages from communicating, interacting, and growing together with them. Though science is obviously meant to be somewhat separated, to maintain its practical benefits.

I say the Sun can be described with numbers, myth, paint, poetry and prose. One isn't better than the other. They all have their benefits. And they all have their fanatics. And they all can intertwine.

Okay, back to the hippie commune. See ya guys later!
