always rests on a fine knife edge….”

The previous post  contrasted recent bullshit of Louis Menand
with some non-bullshit at Wikipedia.

But Wikipedia is hardly blameless —

The text on the left is bullshit. The illustration on the right is not.

… and  What Is . . . Fact?

Rhetorical questions by art critic Michael Glover—

“Has this kind of abstraction to do with ideas
of the spiritual? Are we supposed to see behind
what we have here some kind of evidence of
superhuman energies at work in the universe?
Is this some kind of manifestation of the force
that through the green fuse drives the flower—
to quote a line from Dylan Thomas?”

Rhetorical answer —

“Remember, Remember the Fifth of November“
