I express a lot of things. I expressed a 7 pound growler today. You wanna buy some art?
Yes. Again, art is sometimes not pretty. A very high proportion (perhaps all of us, frankly) of us are unaware of the true ratio of rationalism in our lives versus expressionism. Society is not shaped this way because it makes sense. It is shaped this way because that's how we like it. We think we behave rationally, with the occasional act of irrational expression. In reality, it is just the opposite.
