if you are teaching and unaware that you are dealing in futures, you should either learn what that means or get out as soon as you can
the techniques, the skills, the disciplines are all secondary to the idea, the reason and the effect human beings can have on each other and the world through what they create
art, science, maths, language are constructs that have
no need for a hierarchy, no need for competition
we all serve in the interests of creating balance, solving problems, delighting the eye, the soul and the mind
