Well, there is, in my opinion, an astute Joseph's:
"And Roger
Gilmore notes that visual artists have a particular kind of intelligence
that lends itself to 'identifying and posing important and difficult
questions.' He notes further that studies of the relationship between
creativity and asking questions show conclusively that 'the higher the
level of fine arts interest, the higher the level of creative
problem-FINDING ability.'"
And then Howard's:
. I'm still waiting for someone to get the big picture on the
ways our machines are remolding our minds.
Why (rhetorical) do I have this feeling (oh my, its intuitive)
that it will finally be a machine that gets the BIG picture...
and that that machine may carefully consider
the implications of letting us know what big picture it is that's
remolding or retooling or demolding our minds....
Such a machine may even take pity on artists and construct a nice dance of veils
for a more interesting approach to the big bang of cognition
that Howard may think is "out [t]here".
Meanwhile, I'm not sure artists would want to spend
their time continually discerning their right hand
from their left when there are so many marvelous problems
to be detected in this environment that function like hellium
armatures for new work.......
