The artifacts associated with work have become fetishized, while the impact, the human emotional and conceptual changes that result from that work now feel ephemeral and fleeting, when they’re the whole reason anyone does anything.

Himeji Castle
History and
Himeji Castle is the largest and most visited castle in Japan, and it was registered in 1993 as one of the first UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the country.[2] The area within the middle moat of the castle complex is a designated Special Historic Site and five structures of the castle are also designated National Treasures.[5][10] Along with Matsumoto Castle and Kumamoto Castle, Himeji Castle is considered one of Japan's three premier castles.[11] In order to preserve the castle buildings, it underwent restoration work for several years and reopened to the public on March 27, 2015.[12] The works also removed decades of dirt and grime, restoring the formerly grey roof to its original brilliant white color.

If correctness were our real purpose, then we should do all we can to get the right answers—which would often involve deferring to experts. But such deference would miss ... See more

From Poetry and Prophecy, Dust and Ashes, on plough.com:
Biblical inerrancy is a modern doctrine, and these kinds of reactions, too, invite the accusation that I am judging an ancient text by standards not native to it. Indeed, I am. This is a necessary step in a process called "reading." My disgust and confusion are forms of information; they measure my distance from the text's world. A reading that entered fully into the text's thought-world, that required no haggling or silent dissent on the way, would be a useless exercise - you could bring nothing back from it; it would dissolve like a dream. Nor are such objections simply modern. Alter's notes detail many instances in which medieval and early-modern textual critics tried to smooth away the violence and contradictions of the text.
