I couldn’t agree more, Jeff. I think, at its best, art cracks open a new way of experiencing something. Magic is in surprise. Part of the objective for art, as I imagine it, is to defy expectation. It’s no wonder art is so often averse to commercialization, which thrives on creating and meeting expectation.
Ps - the line about “flattening” reminded me of a wonderful philosophy graphic novel (!) called “Unflattering” — which was fitting to the spirit of the post.
I realize I should have posted a link to where you can actually buy some Czar wine. Anyone looking to add something to their wish list: https://www.czarwinery.com/copy-of-wine
Isn't this what's happening with politics? Everyone gets the news from their phone. But they get only half the news, the half they like. People are always telling me how well-informed they are. I don't think so.

Practice the art of the second sip... That will stick with me

That’s exactly it, Richard. Echo chambers.
