The criteria for serving one's country should be competence, courage and willingness to serve.

There was a big drive when I was at art school to make you aware of the economy of meaning - after all, this was still during the tail end of minimalism.

There is nothing that man fears more than the touch of the unknown. He wants to see what is reaching towards him, and to be able to recognize or at least classify it. Man always tends to avoid physical contact with anything strange. ↗
