Style, man, STYLE! It's all about style; substance has no...well, SUBSTANCE!
"I have the Apple logo on my electronic toy, therefore I have STYLE and I MATTER." /s
The major public influences in our culture are controlled by those immersed in the subjective world. "Stroke of the pen, Law of the Land. Kinda cool!"
Our government bodies are controlled by lawyers who care little about law based on principle but seek control & coercion through codified whims.
Those in the News Media seek not to inform the public of events, people & places but rather to "make a difference", to "change the world".
VDH has just evaluated the "Artists" and found them ensconced between "wanting" and dispicable.
Liberal Arts academia is all about tenure, rebellion and being advant garde!
Thankfully, engineering is still populated by those who understand that there is objective truth in life. The bridge will (or will not) withstand 100% more traffic weighing 150% more than current loads for the next 25 years WITHOUT the routine maintenance which the subjectivist government drones decided was too expensive...taking money away from programs which were more effective at buying votes.
If the aeronautical engineers were a little more subjective and less less obstinate objectivists then when the wings started falling off the Jet Setters jets as they traversed flyover country enroute from one center of style & influence to another, perhaps the beautiful people who really matter would wake up.... naaaa probably ain't gonna happen.
[how's that for a run-on sentence!]
(thus endeth my Monday morning rant)
The new engineers will not be that way.
My husband (the engineer) asked (rhetorically) just last night, "What would you do if you'd married a liberal arts major?" as he headed to the basement to check on the furnace to find out why my floors were so cold! LOLOLOL!
I quipped back something inane about "I'd be seeing more plays and ballets."
Seriously, every girl ought to have an engineer in her life. My sons are engineers too, and my daughters make do with calling on their father for those little fixes. Even the sons still call on him when the car won't start.
