"Art permeates every human activity; it is intrinsic; it
cannot be separated from other aspects of human activity. Art is
not separate from utility; art informs utility and improves it,
and just as importantly, is informed and improved by utility. Art
is deeply human, and humans do not exist without art anywhere on
this planet. And they never have." -- mother goddam,

realinterrobang for
quoting this earlier. Alas, when I went to try to find a
date and direct link for the original comment, the server for
the Science Based Medicine blog was unresponsive and I could not
