Reply #5: A Masterpiece Stands Alone [View All]

[Parisle]

---- It is a work of art upon which no improvement may be made or even imagined. It's countervailing forces in optimum, undisturbed balance. It's any worthwhile human endeavor to which you can turn your back without fear that it will be different when you turn back around. You can take your eye off a masterpiece; it is a reservoir of freestanding truth.

---- My most immediate masterpiece is a pick-up truck with 160,000 miles on it, but which starts every time, doesn't burn any oil, hasn't required any major work in years,... and has never let me down. It is physics-as-art. Devise the same vehicle along principles of human nature, and you will have the optimum balanced society.
