    Hi Mark Mills -

    That seems to be the core of the aesthetic experience, at least with the
    word and performance arts, and it seems to be most if not all of the
    memetic experience, at least in the way I would like to meld aesthetics
    and nature and culture.

    The ways to get one's message across would seem to be the constant. The
    variable is the content, and, the medium does not correct for nonsense.

    Yet....
