A NOTE ON PORN
Add this to your glossaries:
PORNOGRAPHY: The use of sexual or erotic imagery or content for its own sake, rather than for the commercial or political endorsement of products or ideas.
I will develop this theme further. For me, CATHARSIS is the function of art. Im sick of idiots trying to reduce aesthetics to "metaphysical structure." Fuck off, bitches. This involves violation of taboo, presenting people with the inconsistencies in their own rationalizations about the world and their own emotional states, which protect them from reality.
But commercials and propaganda aren't art.
There is also decadent art, which functions to present idealizations about the world, reinforcing peoples rationalizations (defense mechanisms) about reality. Commercials and propaganda perform a similar function.
