  1. 1:12:10 Concerning "looking at beauty (in comparison to looking at bland stuff)": There was a german architect and professor who held a speech in 1905 complaining about bad/ugly architecture ... and he used the following image/comparison: If we go into a restaurant and the band [no radio or grammophone music in 1905] plays badly we would complain, but if we see awful architecture being erected in our neighborhood we bear it without complaint. So I would advise you to start thinking about complaining about bad architecture ... because that kind of stuff is DEMORALIZING to everyone passing it and an example can be found here: https://youtu.be/i-Z4biH-G6c?t=302 german or french only: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruno_Specht The speech is found in: Die Grenzen der künstlerischen Entwicklung an den Baugewerkschulen. In: Deutsche Bauzeitung, 39. Jahrgang 1905, Seite 318 ... which can be found online: https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_EeBLAAAAYAAJ/page/n358

  2. 1:19:50 No ... the solution isnt to "build NEW fountains" but rather to "reopen the ones we already had and which were filled with stupid rubble by modernists who think only new stuff is good stuff and newer is automatically better"! This means that SOCIETY NEEDS TO CHANGE ... not universities (well universities need to slow down, get rid of many of the "humanities" [the useless gender-based stuff] and focus on IMPORTANT stuff like PHILOSOPHY and ETHICS ... but NOT "from a marxist perspective").
