Aurino,

By those measures then every inquiry into the way of the world is entertainment or artistic expression. I reject this view simply because that's not the focus in the fields of inquiry (e.g., philosophy, science, economics, engineering, programming, etc). The main purpose is to meet a set of objectives (not entertain or express oneself in a manner for the main purpose of creating emotion).

I think there is a great deal of confusion of what philosophy is. Let's just say that our discussion here is philosophy. If you are mainly trying for artistic expression by communicating right now, then maybe you should draw me a picture.

Warm regards, Harv
