Abstract

As impressive as our technological triumphs are, they do nothing to relieve our interpersonal difficulties. Nor do they clarify our relationship to nature because they do not elucidate who we are and how we can better relate to each other. Unfortunately, neither the social sciences nor arts offer much toward resolving or clarifying the underlying philosophical issues. The social sciences give muddled if not contradictory answers which create as many problems as they solve while art devolved hopelessly in demoralizing phases from the primitive to the infantile to the inane if not insane in our paranoid, self-constructed, post-modern, fragmented, relativistic, subjective, deconstructive world [1] in which nonsense seems relevant [2] when packaged as targeted nonsense [3].
