I wonder if our goals as a society are at odds with great art and creativity. We want to make the life of the average person better. We want to make it easier for everyone to meet their basic needs and to experience some level of comfort and security. Those conditions don’t produce great art. Hardship produces great art. Not having a safety net necessitates creativity. Being comfortable seems to lead to complacency. Not saying we should pursue great art at the cost of comfort, but just wondering if we can have both.
I think this is why the far left is just so boring. They are comfort and safety obsessed. Every comfort should be a right and anything that makes them uncomfortable is dangerous and should be prohibited. That mindset doesn't produce great art.
