We need food to stay alive, but the reason we desire life...
CMV: Art is practically useless, especially in the area of politics/making the world a better place.
It is through art that we give our species worth. We need food to stay alive, but the reason we desire life is for self expression. The only constant in every society on earth is art. To create and appreciate art is apart of our evolution. Human intelligence stems from abstract thought, which is where our drive to create art comes from. To take away art would be to take away our abstract thought.
