Joshisms: The Angry Critic Response

Joshisms: Sometimes I invent my own words because as technology and culture advance, there are more and more nameless concepts that come into being. Naming unnamed concepts and ideas is important because without words for our ideas, humans aren't able to successfully communicate and understand the world. In fact, naming new concepts is how how people become aware of new concepts. Truly, language is flawed and imperfect for communicating ourselves. Thus, language is ever growing and ever changing.

The Angry Critic Response: A natural function of an intelligent, developing culture in response to a stagnant or depreciating quality in it's art. It's a natural phenomenon, like an immune response to a disease inside a body, for individuals become so disappointed and so unsatisfied with the current state of art that they react in such a way, with such intensity that it becomes an art form in and of itself, and indeed, is a higher from of art at the time. The ultimate affect of the response is that it creates a need in the culture for a change in its art and art can begin changing to satisfy that need.
