[FRIAM] God is not a Good Theory

[George Duncan]

I asked
How best can a community non-profit arts organization increase donations?

GPT-3 at the OpenAI playground replied There are a few ways a community non-
profit arts organization can increase donations: 1. Reach out to local
businesses and ask for sponsorships. 2. Have a donation drive and collect
items from the community. 3. Have a fundraiser and ask people to donate
money. 4. Ask people to volunteer their time to help with events or projects
. 5. Write grant proposals to foundations and other organizations.How best
can a community non-profit arts organization increase donations?

Sensible, if not a guide to action.

My art theme: Dynamic exposition of the tension between matrix order and
luminous chaos.

then be a valuable delusion."

power." Joanna Macy.
