This is an important point that many miss about art.
This is also the case with other high culture activities including wine tasting.

==Although no one would hesitate to watch a TV show because they haven’t studied enough television history, many people think they do not know enough art history to look at art.== For Linnea West, an educator at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Slow Art Day lowers some of the barriers by making the case that there’s something to be gained simply from looking.“You don’t have to come to a work with knowledge you read in a book to get a lot out of it,” she says. 1

What design changes might be instituted to help slow down one’s consumption of art?

Studies suggest that the average museumgoer looks at an artwork for less than 30 seconds. And with crowds that seem to push you from one piece to the next, overwhelmingly large exhibitions, and a dismal lack of seating options, museum spaces sometimes seem to encourage this “more is more” ethos. But on “Slow Art Day” every April, museums around the world offer programming that guides visitors in looking more patiently. 1

This seems to be the biggest linchpin in the system propping Sen. Manchin up. It at least provides him cover for not helping to tip the scales toward equality for all Americans.
How much should individuals in the House and Senate only represent their own constituents versus their leadership of their country overall? Since they’re not always representing the interests of all of their constituents, why couldn’t they represent interests of those in other states too? Often they’re not even representing the interests of the majority of their own state/areas.
Is it possible to have solid overall country representation if minorities are always gerrymandered out of positions of power?
In the senate we could mandate one male and one female from each state and come out with something generally positive and more representative. This may not work for helping to create more diversity and inclusion on other fronts without the use of gerrymandering of some sort or another.
Would be interesting to run some game theoretical experiments on some of these issues. - April 04, 2021 at 0958AM Syndication Link

West Virginia’s non-Hispanic white population is 92 percent, much higher than the nation overall (60 percent). I’m not suggesting that Manchin doesn’t care about Black voting rights, but he doesn’t have a huge Black constituency pressing him on this issue, as only 4 percent of West Virginians are Black (compared with 13 percent in the nation overall). 1

Is it possible that the phrase “Can’t see the forest for the trees” dates back to the use of landscape and memory? I’m particularly thinking about trees in the Druids setting potentially being used for memory palaces.

Our current education system is failing so many people. We need to harken back to the older knowledge and memory systems of the pre-industrial era. While newer ideas can be useful in some situations, we need to place more focus back on practical knowledge for the average citizen. The daily practical knowledge of the average historical indigenous person is far larger than we ever give them credit for. In many cases they have more knowledge for living than even some of the most elite well-educated Americans.
We may often be too focused on specialized knowledge and neglect the fact that people still need a broad-based daily knowledge.
