Thank you, Case. Yes, those centre panel, foreground people aren't striving for the common good, for sure. I have them as madrono addicts and suffering from the alienating effects of a narcotic hangover. Tired, listless, unconnected with each other.
And not about hate? I find it more like "a map of the artist's troubled soul," (as in the Revelation video). I' must update that with the script of the video.
A refreshing recap of your worthy diverse points of view on the Garden triptych!
Yes, I feel it when you cite Dr. Bax… But you’re right for sure in some criticism, to add new explanatory light. Bosch clearly was an early Renaissance man, in his attention to individual emotions. Also good to hear that the Garden is not about hate or similar bad feeling. This makes it so intriguing, as it still is the intro for the Afterlife panel!
Maybe you can therefore shine some more on that in a following study.
You already hinted at the intoxicating effects of the Madroño. The behavior of many persons of the center panel is kind of gluttonous. And there still is condemnation of sexual liberty.
My own feeling is that the loving hippie people are self-centered and idle, lazy in the sense of not working for common goals or striving to be morally good (in those days: religiously faithful).
All this led to a bad judgment for many, if not most.
Bosch himself emphasised the Passion as example, and sign of Hope.
And the position of the individual, of taking a stance.

Very much appreciated the transcript, as usual!
