What does it mean to be relevant?
New?
Hip?
Of the moment?
Au courant?
Visionary?
With it?
Edgy?
Young?

None of these things means anything.

Do not care about being young and hip and au courant and with it and edgy. Instead, grow old like Arthur Kern and just do your own thing.

“A lot of the things that are going on, and what will go on, are the very things I tried to escape from before. I’m 84 years old and I have never given a talk about my work.”  – Arthur Kern
