I have a recommendation for hotels and restaurants: please ask help when you purchase art in to your enterprises. It will be worth your while.

To find quality is of course priority with suitable price. Fast food culture has had an impact on all of culture from constructing to interior design to creating public places for us all to enjoy. I have not found much enjoyable spaces lately in public places. How much should quality cost and how do we recognize quality is something worth digging into. There are merchants and con men as there are projects and opportunities trying to make the most profit as always. When making something worth while is all about making the best profit consequences will be somewhat and more or less foul. Money that goes down the drain is clearly wasted. When worth while goes in the meaning of fortunes being made the worth while is meant for few players who are in it for the money. When we talk about art and making it accessible to the people for many to enjoy art in every day, tourism is not the first priority. Tourists follow something that has proved to be valuable locally, benefiting ordinary people. Shipping something expensive ready-made as a tourist attraction is the effect glued on without wanting to see what there really is on the spot. When restaurants and hotels wish more tourists to visit and they think art will do to attracting please pay attention to what kind of art you will purchase in your facilities in which those tourists will spend time, eat their meals and sleep. There are paintings and photographs on walls of every hotel room, in every restaurant. When you wish to benefit from art and work of artists, it is good to consider how you do it.

Cheapness and posters rarely do any tricks in attracting anyone, nor do plastic flowers and photographs of misty mountains, but they are cheap as kitsch usually is.

Intellect is a perfect topic and field of research. We are haunted by idea of intellect and having it, at least looking like we have it. All there is in the brain has not been learned, not by scientist and not by non-scientists but we like to refer to intellect often and we seem to have knowledge of what is clever and what is not. There are so many smart objects within our reach making our lives something else than just ordinary normal life. Life becomes smarter via machines as they are the intellect and something more we need, somehow. There is always the thought of better, better than, owning it, the smarter than and it is a machine. Something new is smarter than what I had before, this new thing has new kinds of abilities.

The assumed intellect or lack of is often a reason to make judgments of someone, call names and give a sentence or approval. Similar kinds of thoughts fit together well. It is a strange world where intellect is pretty hastily judged, a characteristics that defines one completely. Something that is hugely more complex than our shallow world likes to admit. How and what we come to value as clever can be one root to the problem of what we see as intelligent, what kinds of results are seen as intelligent and useful. Usefulness of ideas, plenty of ideas, capability to manage and deal with demanding problems, create innovate practical unseen ways to live, make working solving solutions to dilemmas that burden the whole of society (if there was not vanity and greed): is intellect in the continuous making or making just as much as is needed and not more? I have a deep feeling intellect is lost.

Most sad I am when people who I assume would be the least with prejudice appear to be anything but.

All one can do is to prove them wrong. Hardest thing must be to admit being wrong. But I drink to hoping those narrow-minded will see the light.
