- johnsmith1840 16d agoArt is entertainment. It has no functional value. The simple fact that you're comparing art to mathematics is making my point for me.
- mastodon_acc 16d agoEntertainment has no functional value for humans? Or at least tell me the functional value of Fermat’s last theorem.
- johnsmith1840 16d agoArt doesn't move cargo faster, or save me time analyzing a dataset. You can make the argument that "high" math has no function value which is fair. But I would not agree.
- CamperBob2 16d agoIt'd be naive to suspect that this isn't part of the backlash. Artists and musicians are indulging a will-to-power impulse just like the rest of us. Nobody likes to lose power, or to see their own influence diluted.
