**"Religious people apparently tend to live longer as well, but you can't eat that either. **"
That is usually the result of lifestyle choices
related to the various practices.
(modest consumption,avoiding toxins purifying the body with fasting etc.)
"By extension, you could say that a packing crate will do just as well as a house and we could all eat algae and wear garbage bags. Yeah, we could but where's the fun in reducing everything to the LCD :-) Apologies if I misunderstand the point."
Actually you have missed the point respectfully sir
no one suggests we stop everything and live in the most basic conditions of food,clothing and shelter.
But I dont hear the people who manufacture the storage crates and garbage disposal supplies
carrying on about how important their work is to the society or how it "defines" them as human beings as much I hear coming from self described "Artists" and I come from a "fine art" background btw.
I personally LOVE the Visual Arts and COLOR
(just check my website link below)
I worked as Graphic Designer for print for 18 years before getting into 3D&Animation.
But I am not under any Delusion that my "Art "
has an intrinsic value anywhere NEAR that of the
sanitation engineers in New york whom are enabling me to have Drinkable water and flushing toilets
Take away the Mona Lisa or ILM and all special effects movies and all 3D render engines on the same day you Take away refrigeration and functional sewers and see what regular people complain about the most .
"Artists" really need to get over them/ourselves
Cheers
