(FOUR) IS “FAITH” JUST ANOTHER WORD FOR “NAIVETY”?
I’m not trying to harsh anyone’s mellow, but let’s be real here. The idea and concept of “faith” is fine. People need to have hope. The problem is that it’s unrealistic. You have to take the proper steps forward and be focused to accomplish what you set out to do. By this, wouldn’t “faith” just be the same thing as “naivety”. In the nicest way possible, I think this is the biggest “ignorance is bliss” scenario possible.
(THREE) AREN’T TURTLE NECK SWEATERS JUST SWEATERS WITH BUILT IN SCARVES?
Am I silly for asking this? Maybe. I still wonder though. Did a scarf get invented when someone got tired of their large neck in their turtle neck? It just seems these two things are the exact same. A turtle neck is a really fancy scarf. Either way you look at it, NEVER combine these two. Never.
(TWO) DID THE KID FROM “COP AND A HALF” EVER GROW UP?
For those who don’t remember, this 1993 movie was spectacular. It starred Burt Reynolds as a grizzled cop is forced to partner with a little boy to solve a crime. The little kid was named “Devon Butler” and he was played by Norman D. Golden II. I had to look that up. I never saw the kid in anything else after this movie. I don’t know what ever happened to him. I’m not sure if he grew up or not. For all I know he is still the same size and still crashing speed boats. I wonder how often he and Burt Reynolds get together. I hope the guy is alright and doing well because I seriously dug this movie as a kid.
(ONE) CAN A MACHINE CREATE ART?
I’m not talking about a copy of art or a mass production of a product of art. I’m talking in general. If we programmed a machine to recognize the greatest artworks of all time and to then reproduce an image it would compute as the median of it all then what happens? Obviously this image should be appealing and appreciated based on the characteristic and ingredients of the top paintings of all time. The question here to wonder if this is REALLY art. Even if it’s appreciated by some, it won’t be by others. Isn’t that the idea of art being subjective? But at the same time, it’s also become a technical paradox.
