Steven says:
Content is brain
Non-content is blah
And brain is supposed to be better than blah.
Children don't always agree. Neither did Dada. Neither does zen.
Eric Satie laughed at it, as does Brian Eno (ambient music).
The notion of content as superior to non-content is a very intellectual, 
basically bourgeois and definitely Lutheran misconception. It says: we 
have to work (our brains) even in our pastimes. Never let go. Never 
forget our duties.
Don't just play around, kid!
(Sigh.)
