Science has a job to do, and art has a job to do. What are these jobs, and are they related, and if so, how? If science or art fails to do their job, what are the consequences for humanity? If science or art succeed admirably in their jobs, what will the consequences be… how will we know whether we are succeeding or failing? Should the average person know, or even care, or is this a job reserved for "intellectuals?" Is there meaning to our existence over and above that which we assign to it, or does our meaning reside solely in the actions we take? Do we each have a responsibility to ‘us’ as a group, or is it every man and woman for themselves? In this time of consilience, should we ask what art can learn from science, and vice versa, or are they mutually exclusive of one another?
