@wizardponderingorb @evan @numb_comfortably without art life is MEANINGLESS

@ben @wizardponderingorb @numb_comfortably I find a lot of other things in life meaningful.

@ben @wizardponderingorb @numb_comfortably for example!

I don't want to knock art, but I think we can engage with other people, with ideas, and with the natural world in ways that are purposeful and fulfilling which are hard to call "art".

@ben @wizardponderingorb @numb_comfortably

I recognize that some definitions of "art" extend to any meaningful act, in which case it's a tautology.

But I think there are more colloquial definitions that cover a few dozen human practices, and while they are wonderful, life is not empty and pointless without them.
