Continued here Why the truth of art is greater than the truth of science - Big Think    “At the very beginning of history, we find the extraordinary monuments of Paleolithic art, standing as a problem to all theories of human development, and a delicate test of their truth.”—R.G. Collingwood This quote and the problem it describes drives The Entanglement by Alva Noë, a new book on art, philosophy, and what it means to be human. Almost as far back as we want to go in the story of humanity, there is art standing in a central, pivotal location. The question that Noë, a philosopher at the University of California-Berkeley, wants to understand is simple: Why? Why is art so central to our development that we cannot tell the story of humanity without it? In the modern world, we tend to view science and technology as the most important achievements — the true pinnacles of human ability. While we acknowledge that art is something only humans do, it tends to get relegated to the domain of “mere” beauty or pleasure. In this view, art is important, in its own way, but it simply does not have the same sort of cosmic relevance as the theory of general relativity or the standard model of particle physics.  Continued here Riley Keough on Growing Up Presley, Losing Lisa Marie, and Inheriting Graceland - Vanity Fair    Her grandfather died before she was born, but his house in Memphis stayed in the family. Graceland. Years ago, Riley Keough and her mom, Lisa Marie Presley, would visit for Thanksgiving with Keough's brother and sisters. They would stay at the official hotel, and when the tourists departed the legendary home for the day, they'd go over and hang out, drive golf carts around the grounds, and celebrate the season together. "When Elvis's chefs were alive, they used to still cook dinner for us, which was really special," she tells me. "It was very Southern: greens and fried catfish and fried chicken and hush puppies. Cornbread and beans. Banana pudding." It's an early evening in May—Keough's 34th birthday, as it happens—and we're in a hotel lobby outside St. Gallen, Switzerland, hoping a waiter will materialize. The place is nearly empty. An elderly woman sleeps in a wheelchair. A bartender swats flies away from a sweating cheese plate. A pianist is attempting to enliven happy hour with a classical rendition of R.E.M.'s "Losing My Religion." The chords reverberate around the vast, sterile rotunda. "There were a few times that we slept there," Keough says of Graceland, "but I don't know if I should say that." She pauses. The second floor has always been closed to the public out of respect for Elvis Presley's family because the singer had a fatal heart attack there. Then again, Keough's family was Presley's family. Who had the right to be there if not them? "The tours would start in the morning, and we would hide upstairs until they were over," she continues. "The security would bring us breakfast. It's actually such a great memory. We would order sausage and biscuits, and hide until the tourists finished." Continued here
