Art is fairly useless. All it does is waste time that could be better spent on something that's actually useful in the real world.

[quote]Art is fairly useless.

School is, more or less, a place where you learn how to think. But the reason we re required to take math, science, and history classes instead of y'know, thinking classes is because thinking can't be beneficial to the economy unless unless you have something to apply it with.

You're already being assaulted so don't feel a need to debate me; I generally agree with you that art is unnecessary compared to science in the limited exposure of school, I just wanted to point out the side effects.

C'mon, if art is so important to you than you should be able to give me some creative insults. Prove to me that useless crap like painting and pottery and poetry are more important than math and science and history.

First of all, I'm not simply insulting you because I like art, I'm letting you know you're naive. Second, my reply is no more creative than your reply, just that you happened to say something childish (the meaning of naive, by the way), and once again I'm letting you know. Third, thinking of creative insults is not standard practice for all artists, you twit. Finally, I could try to tell you how the massive effects that art has had on our ideologies and society, for example like how Shakespeare or the King James bible shaped our language, or the fact that a shit ton of your history [i]comes[/i] from studying art, but I doubt you'd be able to comprehend any of it because you're naive.

GuNにより編集済み: 3/18/2013 11:46:17 PMArt is also a vital contributor of the evolution of medicine and physiology. The father of modern neuroscience, Ramon Y Cajal, besides being a doctor was also an artist, and his sketches of the nervous tissue were one of the most important tools that later helped educate many other doctors and scientists. Also, he attributed a lot of his discoveries in the field, from growth cones to the structure of epithelial tissue to his hypothesis (from hours analyzing his sketches of brain slices) that glial cells are too numerous and plentiful to be just mere support structures( a theory that was proven to be true). Arts also REALLY influential in other fields of medicine, because some of the pioneers of human physiology and anatomy, such as William Harvey, Leonardo Da Vinci, etc. were also artists, and due to the study of their sketches (many in those days didn't have access to cadavars) not only were more physicians educated with proper diagrams, but from studying these pictures, these men and others were able to come up with many explanations for the structure of human physiology(such as figuring out how the human body circulates blood), which progressed the understanding of medicine.

[quote]First of all, I'm not simply insulting you because I like art, I'm letting you know you're naive.[/quote]Unfortunately you have yet to say anything that shows that. [quote] Second, my reply is no more creative than your reply, just that you happened to say something childish (the meaning of naive, by the way), and once again I'm letting you know. Third, thinking of creative insults is not standard practice for all artists, you twit.[/quote]All of that, and you only managed to call me a twit. [quote]or the fact that a shit ton of your history [i]comes[/i] from studying art[/quote]LOL, "art history." I'm talking about the history of things that actually matter. What style of portrait Picasso painted doesn't matter to much of anything. [quote]but I doubt you'd be able to comprehend any of it because you're naive.[/quote]Again, you insult me but say nothing at all that backs up your position.

Space exploration is vital to the survival of our species, both in terms of short term gains for Earth and the long-term survival that comes from spreading humanity to other worlds. Learning how to paint animals on a canvas is not.

There are too many of us now, our natural resources will not sustain us unless at least a third of us get wiped out, even if we stop using oil, we will just keep reproducing and consuming until there is nothing left. Unless we can get resources from somewhere else I.E space, we will die, or at least civilization will.
