The Rainbow and the Woodster
A Monday Morning Memo from 2003 Until recently, I always assumed that rainbows disappeared from sight long before they touched the earth and that searching for the end of the rainbow was nothing more than a game for the gullible. Or that if they did touch the earth, that the rainbow moved with the viewer, […]
Is There a Right Way to Criticize?
The statesman, according to Wikipedia, “who is often regarded as the father of modern conservatism,” was Edmund Burke (1729 – 1797). I was unaware of this until I stumbled upon it while searching for the origin of the famous statement, “All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.” […]

Fiction or Nonfiction?
Nonfiction is a False Category
Science is the study of objective reality. Art is the study of subjective reality. Electromagnetic waves exist regardless of whether you perceive them. They are nonfiction. But colors exist only in subjective reality, as a result of transformations provided by our senses. They are fiction. Likewise, chemicals dissolved in air or water exist in objective reality, nonfiction. But […]

Intellect-Emotion_MichaelHurd
Dr. Michael Hurd says, “People say this all the time: ‘I know, intellectually, that such-and-such is true. But I don’t feel it.’ The next question is usually, ‘How can I make myself feel it?’ This is what reasonable people often expect a psychotherapist to do for them. Unfortunately, it doesn’t quite work that way. The […]

Win the Heart and the Mind Will Follow
Science is the study of objective reality. Art is the study of subjective reality. We’ve spoken of this before, but I think we need a refresher: Electromagnetic waves exist regardless of whether you perceive them. They are nonfiction. But colors exist in subjective reality, as a result of transformations provided by our senses. Colors are fiction. Likewise, chemicals […]

Fictional Characters in Advertising
Norman Rockwell was an illustrator of fiction. He never showed us America as it really was, but America as it could have been, should have been, might have been. His images caused an entire generation to vividly remember experiences we never had. Rockwell showed my generation a fictional America and we believed in it. I […]
