I don't know much about modern art and all species of liberalism have about run their course but I agree that choosing incoherence as value is an ongoing mystery to me. Why would anybody? A possible answer came to my attention a few days ago, a quote of Aldous Huxley admitting to a decision of intellectuals to do away with values, because they wished to be free from sexual restraints. To be fair, he was only admitting on his part and construing his reality to others according to his best surmise. But as an MoQist who takes the social as the fundamental, it makes sense to me. Even philosophers need to get laid. Spread an anything-goes-values-free metaphysics glorifying intellect as value with science and the academy at the top o' the heap, and you're bound to have better luck and more variety at the local pub on a friday night. That's my theory. And here's what you got. All the effects around us and still Moronists in the MoQ trying to push their valueless values. tsk tsk indeed.
