[lbo-talk] ruins of Detroit

[Carrol Cox]

Is it possible that borh your "not responding" and Joann'as "You should
respond" are based on a false conception of the unity of art -- i.e..,
that there exists a "good" art worthy of the knowledge and
"appreciation" of all, and that there is a line between such art and the
art not so worthy.

Perhaps there ares simply too fuckig many fundamental varieties within a
given form & period to be known/appreciated by all. That X whose
judgment we shall hypothetically assume is wholly correct and Y whose
judgmnet is also hypothetically  always correct, may reach contrary
judgments of the same category of Art C. Joanna and Doug are both
correct and there simply does not exist a resolution of the difference.
