leigh2154: "Art is a selective re-creation of reality according to an artist’s metaphysical value-judgments. Man’s profound need of art lies in the fact that his cognitive faculty is conceptual, i.e., that he acquires knowledge by means of abstractions, and needs the power to bring his widest metaphysical abstractions into his immediate, perceptual awareness. Art fulfills this need: by means of a selective re-creation, it concretizes man’s fundamental view of himself and of existence. It tells man, in effect, which aspects of his experience are to be regarded as essential, significant, important. In this sense, art teaches man how to use his consciousness. It conditions or stylizes man’s consciousness by conveying to him a certain way of looking at existence."...........Ayn Rand...


Okay, great, now we've got why men create art cleared away. Now what about women? (I'm almost afraid to ask!) laugh wow uh oh super

A more straightforward definition, I think.

Me reading with facetiousness? grin Seriously, that kind of pronouncement would take a LOT of work to unpack (and I've read several attempts at it!), which would be beyond the purview of CS...though I have been known to stretch that purview at tad at times. blushing

Okay, I'm wondering, V...do you share Rand's belief that women should look up to/revere men as their natural leaders? For example, she didn't believe a woman would make a good president. What do you think of that? hmmm hug

sometimes taking one of Rand's concepts out of Context,they kind of lose their meaning,and practically become their Antipodes!

Why would this answer, "I think you have to consider the time frame J", to your question regarding which gender is/is not qualified to be President of the US, cause you to assume I am not a man worshiper? confused

I didn't assume (I considered it to be a speculative possibility). That's why I asked. So are you a man-worshiper (in the general, "non-presidential" sense)? grin

lifeisadream: Does the music that you prefer reveal your personality?

Yes, not, maybe, do not know, no way!.......

Which ones are your 3 most favorites types of music?



I like to Play Jazz,
Sing Romantic songs and listen to oldies.
Music speaks to me and is a stimulis for emotional response.
There is some, so called, Music that immediately signals the off switch.
Yes, my choice of Music shows I am a Neanderthal rolling on the floor laughing
