The Empirical Manifesto

Tomas, as a younger man, I was a sculptor, a painter, and a musician. There was just one problem: I wasn't very good. As a matter of fact, I was dreadful. I finally came to the frustrating conclusion that I had taste and style, but not talent. I knew my limitations. We all have our limitations, Tomas. Fortunately, I discovered that taste and style were commodities that people desired. Tomas, what I am saying is: know your limitations. You are a moron.
