So, let's pretend there's a problem with the phone bill. I don't care
about convincing a stupid rep about metaphysics. I have no interest
in how smart/dumb, misguided/enlightened, narcissistic/brain washed
cult obeying, absurdly rude/absurdly polite she is. I'm not
interested in a bunch of personality sharing/critique. I just want
my damn bill corrected.
I don't care about art as some philosophical intellectual trapeze
act, I wanna know about how real people approach real problems. Who
can get the bill corrected? Not who comes up with the most
innovative and meaningful technique.
Art doesn't have to be some cosmic brain teaser. Art can just be a
plain attempt to solve some ordinary, real-life problem. In fact,
that's a good measurement to use on ourselves. What practical
problem does this answer?
When the rep asks for my name, I assume this gets her a little closer
to finding my file. It won't help fix the bill to respond with any
numbers or punctuation nor to respond to everything she says with
"you're stupid". Or even questioning the deeper foolishness of
enumerating phone calls.
Personalities are meaningless, if it's not going to get the bill
fixed, it's a waste of time.

I never thought of art as fixing a phone bill before now, unusual.
