To me, it seems that art is an inefficient use of human time and resources. Instead, we would be better off if we made bigger bombs so we could kill more terrorists (okay maybe not but you get the picture).
Art really serves no role in bettering the human race. Instead we should spend time pursuing the sciences and math so we can get bigger TVs, faster computers, and spaceships(lol) etc.  
These things would help the human race advance, which art does not do. Thus, I think that art should be abandoned for more useful pursuits instead of "visionaries" (alcoholics smokers shroom users etc.) hippies and liberals creating some shit ass piece of junk that does not help mankind.

Thanks for helping me procrastinate.

It serves as an outlet to those who cannot express themselves any other way. And besides, it looks pretty.

So art is a waste of time, but watching countless hours of "better" TV isn't?

Why?

Yeah, you could argue that 'we' should be spending time bettering the human race, but surely there are enough of us to allow for some to show some expression in something they have a passion for? I watched a film once called 'Equilibrium'. In the film, personal belongings were banned, as i recall, so were emotions and forms of self expression. As shown in the film, and as logic should dictate, people aren't going to want to live their lives in a sedate, often futile fashion. 'Rebels' will occur, and wars, etc. Back where we started, just with a new face.

You said we should spend our time, instead of creating art, finding ways to make bigger TVs.

it's just a matter of your perspective. you say progress is bigger tv's and faster computers. i say that is the opposite of progress. art is producing something that relates to people's emotions, it's not about making the world a better place.

It is for the technology. TV provides a very important way to transmit news and other important information like that. They serve a far more important purpose than that shit called art.

Are you serious? What difference do the reviews make? I simply referenced a film which highlighted a similar issue to the one you raised.

Either way, if you can present me with an argument that discounts my suggested ideas, then shoot.

because faster computers are just something that distracts you more from real life. the end, because you just want to argue with everyone, and i don't want to argue with you. also, weed is not that bad for you if done in moderation. have you even tried it? don't knock something till you try it, my friend.
