How much better if these computerniks would get their systems down before they end up making extensive graphics and clogging up the original system because they never defrag. Perceptual aesthetics are the basic systems. Emotion and intelligence is RAM. The Professions are the programs and what you are calling culture is the product. If the basic systems are inadaquate or down then the programs are limited and the product will be garbage. If the RAM is inadaquate then no matter how big the basic computer is, it will always freeze. Inadaquate RAM slows you down while a poor basic system lacks depth and potential
Most of what is called culture today is garbage passing for the best that they can imagine. The culture of economists. Sand dabs. It will not bode well for them in their future generations.
