forum for week of 14 Nov: when we don't want knowledge

Similar to the idea of the consumption of art; when one is writing a novel, poem, screenplay, television script, or creating any other kind of art of some sort for public viewing, the writer or artist is creating a fictitious world for the artistic consumer, but is not necessarily searching for knowledge. The writer must perceive and inquire both to create a logical world in which the consumer's imagination exists, and also must create something that the consumer will appreciate. In the case of the television screenwriter, he must conjure up a fictitious series of events that will both appeal to the viewer's imagination and make logical sense. The writer is not searching for knowledge, but is perceiving what will appeal to the audience in order to reach success among consumers.
