"Art can’t just press your pleasure buttons and sell itself to you. It can’t need to care whether you like it — that’s the space where new ideas are born. It can’t just “think outside the box.” For art to do its job, it has to fill the box with yak dung and get as far away from it as humanly possible."

(sad emoji) Either their copyeditor dumbed it down from rarified to thin for the masses (unfortunately likely), or she is not afflicted with 24/7 brain radio like I am and was not triggered by the title.

Merci buckets Mr. Norris!
so brilliant and hilarious

Well if I misspelled it, that means the Times did too, so HAH
