Transcendent Beauty - part 2.
As everyone here knows, we're in a world where weapons of war come in the forms of information designed to manipulate the masses. A preferred technique is to present stimuli causing fear which, in turn, obscures or limits a persons ability to perceive benefits from unseen forces (objective, transcendent 'beauty'). Fearful perspectives are poured out onto a population - the resulting anxiety renders the culture stuck in 'fight or flight'. When this happens on a societal level the ability to think in nuanced ways is severely hampered and replaced by a polarized knee-jerk reactions - TDS, irrational panic, inability to agree-to-disagree etc...
This means is that we can no longer debate our way to positive societal change. Facts are less relevant in a reactive society therefore the arts will be needed to go 'supra-rational' - around intellectual defenses and actually reach people in a way that causes them to reflect on their beliefs.
Stay tuned for part 3
