Skills that will equip you for (our own) success

Be very afraid, for these people know how to judge art objectively.

I’ve been busy (like Greenfyre, I guess), but check out this seminar announcement from the “College of the United States” which the Heartland Institute has been disseminating:

Announcing
The Great Connections:
Mastering the Intellectual Tools that Transform
a College Education into Lifetime Success

Here’s one of the “skills” which the seminar will impart:

• Explore the application of the concept of objectivity to art, and decide whether something can be judged a work of art – or not.

What this has to do with attaining “success” is anyone’s guess. Then again, the seminar costs US$1,300, and it has a session on global warming with Larry Gould as instructor, so it must be pretty good, no?
