I have no idea if this idea ever gained any traction or is still considered a possibility.<br /><br />To me, chimps are the only apes that are clearly degenerate. The gorilla is a perfectly respectable, even "noble," animal, and what little experience I have had with orangs and gibbons leads me to think something similar of them. The chimp, on the other hand, undeniably has something of the orc about it.Wm Jas Tychonievichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07446790072877463982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1513199068907090344.post-14194846652749321632020-05-01T14:19:39.857+00:002020-05-01T14:19:39.857+00:00I couldn't agree more.

This art was a rejection of spiritual good health and an embracing of disease.William Wildbloodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13231219533755925897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1513199068907090344.post-73816463938158817512020-05-01T12:53:21.743+00:002020-05-01T12:53:21.743+00:00"What it means is that the devil, not being c..."What it means is that the devil, not being creative, can only imitate God but he can only do so in a corrupt, even degenerate, way because of his own corruption. " <br /><br />I agree. Real creation is only possible to God and those aligned with God - everything else is a (more or less) disguised from of corruption. <br /><br />For example, the modern art (fine art, music, literature, architecture, dance etc) movements of the past century can be seen as increasingly with time - parasitic, destructive, subversive -starting with the (still art, but getting nasty) distortions of Picasso, James Joyce's late work, Stravinsky etc; until they become anti-art calling themselves art (eg. John Cage, conceptual art, Henry Moore, Le Corbusier). The mood is parody and mockery at best - at worst Satanic/ Ahrimanic.

To take any other view is to be wholly deceived.<br /><br />It is enough to see the sadness in the eyes of the Great Apes, to know that they are fallen humans. <br /><br />One of my favourite books is "Animals: An Imaginative Zoology" by Karl König the founder of the Camphill movement. Few books have stayed with me so vividly over the years.Moonspherehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02015070450886972955noreply@blogger.com
