[MD] Progress in art?

[Ron Kulp]

> [Platt]


Well, you may be missing something. "The ideals which have always shone
before me and filled me with the joy of living are goodness, beauty, and
truth. To make a goal of comfort or happiness has never appealed to me;
a system of ethics built on this basis would be sufficient only for a
herd of cattle." -- Albert Einstein

Or, as David Gelernter said, "Strangely enough, beauty is also a
truth-and- rightness meter, and science and technology could not exist
without it."

But, they could be wrong.

Pirsig defines Betterness or good as "Good is conformity to an
established pattern of fixed values and value objects."
 Lila 119.
