After reading this “Essay” I was more than before and I also kind of disagree with some of the things said in there. For example the paragraph where it goes like knowledge is power and power is value so if something doesn’t produce knowledge it has no value. I disagree because if you write it like that it seems like \u00a0ONLY knowledge is power and therefore ONLY power is value but that implies that things that we just do to have fun also have no value since they not always produce knowledge. Okay that didn’t have to do anything with art but I just wanted to write that down anyways. The second thing I disagree with is the part where it says “Asking the Wrong Question” and then there are like things stated where you can ask the question “What does it mean” for like mathematical equations or economic data but I personally don’t think that that question would be appropriate for any of those just like for the art things. For the economic data would should better ask things like “What is shown in there” of “When was this data collected”. Overall I came to the conclusion that “What does it mean is a really inappropriate question unless it is asked for foreign languages. Then there was the part with “Art can mean whatever we want it to mean” and I agree with that ,even though I am not really sure what the word mean actually means after reading this essay. And right after that it said that that is only possible in a range of responses but I think that you can interpret art any way you want, that doesn’t need to be what it means(while writing this I got really confused about what it actually means to mean). I liked that Amy Winehouse was mentioned just because she is amazing and I agree with basically all the rest and what I don’t agree with I am too lazy to write about. But yes art can make us wiser but it can also just be fun to look at, to listen to, to eat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
