Is the curatorial school of scholars lacking scholarship? or are they just
holding on?  Having worked with scholars, experts , curators, and others I
see a certain return to "get the job done" promulgated by Directors which
neither get it, or get it done.

I don't mean to do a diatribe on directors, ill knowing, ill equipped, ill
PAID, and sundry other items affecting most directors.   I must say that
most are ill paid, ill informed, and are not appreciated for what they do,
whatever that is, (frustrated curators trying to make a point in their
limited vocabulary of funds and mind).  It is no excuse for blending the
professions, most ill equipped to do just one thing at a time e.g.: nice
silver, nice gold, I ask of you "do we need more curators, or do we need
more understanding of what's valuable to keep for further generations"?

A basic question is "How important are Hominid experiences relative to?

Most directors are "moving on" to better pastures where they can be
appreciated. those pastures are filled with cow shit as well as pearls
disguised as sow's ears.
