And 'shock art' - that exists so gay men without a scintilla of talent can get art grants and pretend they're special...As far as true genius goes - maybe 200 people in the history of the world... and Obama - he ain't one of 'em.
What? You didn’t catch the essence of Obama in Picasso’s genius statement? The last word in the quote was even zero.
You reply as if I suggested you purchase something Pablo Picasso painted or worse that I was impressed with it.
You wondered if genius was some kind of code word. Like many others, I’m sure, I’ve wondered about that genius tag the left hung on Obama so I occasionally look around trying to get a handle on that.
It would be nice to believe those who could be described as liberal elite phonies only sit around philosophizing about a more perfect/gentle/loving/peaceful world posing for each other.
Unfortunately, they also plan, they also take action, they also organize and they got lots and lots of money. But they do philosophize. They couldn’t gain intellectual standing without it in their community, no matter what level of society they exist.
One shouldn’t make the mistake of discounting the power of atonal music when millions listen to it and identify with the message that accompanies it. There is some insight to be gained in that message on the page I linked to if one considers and takes serious the anger and the discipline of the gangs that rule neighborhoods or if you will, political sub-divisions.
What I think they mean by their use of genius is actually catalyst. I also think the left, at every level, understands if you let the catalyst run free you or your party or your gang is going to benefit, someone else is going to pay and change is finally gonna come.
But I ain’t no genius. You don’t have to agree with me. You might want to prepare to expect the unexpected, though.
