“Is social media a waste of time?”

Since it seems to take up most of some people’s spare time, I’d agree that it was a huge waste of time – that should be used instead, to communicate with each other via personal contact.

What an insular kind of life we are heading towards.

Only unreal friendships can be forged via an ethereal Media…

At least 100 of these [art exhibitions] have heralded the arrival of a new major force in world art.

Is he refering to the violent and bloody Helvetic Republic?

I have probably attended over 1000 art exhibitions over the past 30 years. At least 100 of these have heralded the arrival of a new major force in world art. I googled these names this morning. It’s as if they never lived.

Even the Helvetic Republic, in its violent and bloody history, has produced many more noteworthy and useful people.

Perhaps he means Joy Pattinson?

Who is Alberto Giacometti? Even the Helvetic Republic, in its violent and bloody history, has produced many more noteworthy and useful people.

Yay! Finally, a blockquote fail and obligatory apology to my name.
