It's not, though. It's the same opinions that always come up, none of which have any basis in anything but "here's how I feel about this" which gets answered with "but here's how I feel about this so you're wrong" when the very nature of the discussion is "what is art?"

I mean, this was two weeks ago:

That "I read a book" quip is my way of saying "rather than staring into my navel like usual and shouting for the echo, I've actually dug a little deeper into the discussion and now not only do I no longer have any patience for this discussion, I'm beginning to recognize it's mostly asked and answered by people who have zero interest in reading a book."

Why does it piss me off? because it's the ONLY question we ask about art.

HUBSKI: Let's argue what is or isn't art for the nth time.
