1) A deity neither losses, nor gains, divinity from worship.
2) Wisdom remains even if rejected.
3) Even without audience, profound art stays deep.
There is a sense in which I would agree that value is independent of reception (i.e. a sense in which value per se doesn't need actual valuers). See my
Conference Paper Constructed Values or Constricted Values?
1) Is a supposition based upon the hypothesis that deities exist, and that they operate in some manner based upon the laws of our own plane of existence, and within our understanding. I counter that if this were true, we would be deities.
2) Wisdom is derived thru experience, and the experiences remain only until they are forgotten. (*Is a grandmother with Alzheimer's still wise?)
3) The Heisenberg uncertainty principle meets Freudian ID. By saying art is profound are we interjecting our own self-importance upon the art? Is the art profound upon creation or conceptualization? Does art remain profound for an audience that does not appreciate it? If a tree falls in a forest without an observer, does it make a sound? Yes - but you can't prove it. But, can you ever really prove it? =)
