Comment Re:Art expands thought, science limits it (Score 1) 59
Art and thought have no natural link, and the link forged in the last 100 years or so is artificial and destructive. And Art is no evolutionary leap as its effect depends on emotional cues weighed by a variety of subsystems of the brain that are present to greater or lesser degree in pretty much all living things. It's ironic that the Western Art world wraps itself in the mantle of the rational while studiously ignoring the science behind perception.
