>>2130740I pity you sir, that your spirit has been so cleverly caged as to embrace its own starvation, indeed to even advocate and preach its further impoverishment as though it were a benefit. You would reduce mankind to bare utilitarian functionality, bereft of beauty... cold, practical, efficient- joyless, lacking the foibles and idiosyncrasies that emerge from the hand of the craftsman, imbued by his spirit with the spark of creativity. I say to you aesthetics are not superfluous to function sir, for their function is to feed the human heart, whose nourishment is the most essential function of all lest the soul wither and die. I pity you sir, for you have no soul.
