you would not believe how relevant to my interests these links are. thank you very much. I will share in return my favorite work of culture critique/criticism that goes very deep into the cultural neurosis of our times. "The Use and Abuse of Art" by Jacques Barzun (1974). If everyone supposed thinker of our times read this book before spewing their thoughts into our discourse then I'd like to imagine we would be living in a better world than we are today. He doesn't just discuss art but every aspect of culture even perfectly predicting the cult of Science/expert worship and how it would be used to ruin everything. Thanks again

I JUST got this book in the mail because it looks so cool. Nice to see others recognize it. I learned about it from The Use and Abuse of Art by Jacques Barzun, my favorite work of cultural criticism ever.
