The story is there are innumerable ways to categorize art and entertainment—by genre; by era; fiction or nonfiction; art created as propaganda, or art as escape—and over the course of our first season of Lightwise, we’ve touched on all of these, but we’ve tried to focus on stories that amplify light. At the end of each episode throughout this first…

The story is we know people often intentionally write or CREATE art for therapy, but how often are we CONSUMING art for therapeutic purposes—and is it effective? And how often are we unintentionally consuming messages, for better or worse, that alter our perspectives and therefore our experience? Today we discuss the realities and possibilities of …

The story is good artists copy, but great artists steal. And now omputer systems are disrupting industries everywhere, doing things once believed only possible by humans: dealing with uncertainty; learning from experience; making predictions; interpreting language in complex, contextual ways.

The story is every medium has its unique strengths: Sculpture is different from painting; poetry from prose; ballet from theater.

The story is every once in a while a member of the human race achieves another level of Divinity.

The story is the film industry tells stories which support all matter of causes, yet there are some stories which they seem to steer away from, including the life of Christ, and on the other end of the spectrum, exposing the evils of human-trafficking.

The story is that comedy is a second class art form, not that it doesn’t require great skill, but that it is not as “important” as dramatic, “serious” works.

The story is that there are a few big questions: who are we? Where did we come from and why are we here? And what is coming?
