I'm afraid the point of deliberately missing the point rather escapes me.

I would have thought this list has already proved that there is little point
in trying to start a discussion or to raise questions if nobody is willing or
able to weave them into something worthwhile.

If we conclude that art/culture has reduced itself to a meaningless and
valueless self-preserving system of economic exchange, then I suppose trying
to keep out of date pseudo-discussions on artificial life-support systems so
they may continue to be sold long after their "use by date" has elapsed, is
about the only possible strategy left.

Is this a functional basis for a strategy which you actually use as a guiding
principle in your daily life -or is it simply a theoretical, abstract posture
which you adopt in order to create another "controvesy" in order to preserve
the life of a discussion going nowhere?
