Culture ![]() First, lets say that we are not afraid of art or trash, music or noise, performance or perversion in cultural dissertation, just as we are not afraid of brilliant thought or self-indulgent mediocrity in brainstorming sessions for production planning. However, we do believe that it is important that society supports what it believes to be the best while also allowing experimentation to flourish as well. We reject the concept of "cultural relativism" which has no conception of the human content of art, music, and all aspects of cultural expression. Art and Music can do so much more that just evoke an emotion, and it deserves a population that supports it's full developmental potential. We have no intention of instituting a cultural police, we merely intend to socially support a culture of human values as strongly as the current abysmal conditions in the U.S. and Europe are supporting a banal and lowest-common-denominator commercial culture. We will promote the production of the arts in forms that fit our basic tenant of helping raise humanity in being more human. The community will be the patron of the arts, our own "de Medici family" of Renaissance Humanism. This would include funds and labor credits to provide lots of opportunity for access to instruments, teachers, materials, and sources of art and music. We invite you to sign in from the home page and become a Renaissance Humanist collaborator, a co-conspirator who contributes to the ideas that will build this site and the community. We are looking for volunteers to become Sector Managers. |
