Summary

This quote emphasizes the interconnectedness of various aspects of our lives and warns against narrowing our perspective. It suggests that when something is amiss in the arts, it is not isolated to that realm alone. Instead, it implies that flaws or issues in one area often reflect larger problems in society, culture, or other domains. By understanding this interconnectedness, we are encouraged to take a holistic view when evaluating challenges and seek comprehensive solutions rather than addressing individual symptoms without recognizing their broader context.

The best results are achieved by using the right amount of effort in the right place at the right time. And this right amount is usually less than we think we need. In other words, the less unnecessary effort you put into learning, the more successful you'll be... the key to faster learning is to use appropriate effort. Greater effort can exacerbate faulty patterns of action. Doing the wrong thing with more intensity rarely improves the situation. Learning something new often requires us to unlearn something old.
