1 why artists talk nonsense
artists have learned from specialised professionals in other fields that the last thing they must allow is that they should be understood by the non-professional. this 'truthlessness' is the mark and seal of all professions. that is why it is a thousand times better to have the heart of a sub-human than to be a professional.
like a dog that learns a trick that will earn it a reward, artists have learned that the more nonsense they talk, the more patrons they get and the more government funding they will receive. the art critics, the very priests and merchants of truthlessness, conspire in covert accord. what could be worse for them than an art that speaks directly to humanity without need of explanation? what could be worse for the parasitic administrators of the arts funding system and the gallery-owning arbiters of creative notoriety and chic than that the public should be able to tell what is good and what is bad all by itself. what could be worse for the bad artists than that the vacuous inanity of their works be plainly understood by all? what could be worse for the truthful artist than that the intent of their work be understood by the vested interests of truthlessness?
in the face of this truthlessness there is only the mad and homeless imperative of the absolute and unreasonable, begging on the street for spare change.
