at its barest, art is the engendering of the artists' emotional experience onto the viewer, it's a transmission

at some level, everything we do as humans is an act of transmission, either to the other or to the reflection of the other

art has less attenuation than speech, but it is never lossless

The fight fracturing Trump's coalition isn't really about Iran policy. It's about 2000 yrs of Christian ambivalence toward Jews.

Christian Zionism & Christian antisemitism aren't opposites. They're entangled theological fixations.
