Mr. W.: My really biggest question was, is this criticism of this? Because it seemed weird that the New Yorker was profiling it. I guess the quote-unquote diversity of the members here by diversity, which like ranges from like somebody's kid lost in a swim meet to like a trans athlete. But how does she find these people? Kim Jones, whose daughter is a Yale swimmer who lost to the trans gender athlete Leah Thomas in competition last year. And there's a guy who might be a rapist. To be fair, the guy that they're talking about who may or may not be a sexual criminal, there's apparently no solid evidence either way.
What’s the meaning of a work of art? Does the text mean just what the author intends it to mean? Does it matter what Kubrick and Arthur C. Clark thinks about the end of 2001? Or is the artist’s interpretation just one interpretation among many once the text is out in the world? We explore the question of authorial intent, and brace yourselves - this is just about as postmodern as David gets.
Plus – do we have what it takes to get an invite to the thought criminals club?
