@chris @CriticalCupcake No arts, no cartoon.

No arts, no explaining the rest.

No arts, none of the metaphorical reasoning required for scientific and especially medical advances.

Instead, you get the simplistic, immediate-results thinking that results in "arts, meh".

There is nothing shameful or time-wasting about a well-rounded education.

I can't live without proper Healthcare.
I can't live or get a good job without education.
I can't work without the fruits of Science.
Without People protecting me I would probably be dead.

I live without arts just fine.
My house is also heated by science. Not arts.

@chris @CriticalCupcake Everything you just mentioned was also brought to you by the arts. We categorize them to make them manageable, but they're all interconnected.

It's the same thing as if someone tried to claim medicine was possible without science, just because some medical methods were discovered before modern science.

That you're not even understanding this shows how much you need the arts.

@eyrea @CriticalCupcake Saying "Physics is arts" shows how desperatly art people are trying to say "People need us!".

I am sure Isaac Newton had a lot of help from modern expressionist dancers while he discovered the Newton Laws.

@chris @CriticalCupcake Well, here's some terms you might understand: if you really do live your life without the arts as you claim, you most likely have given yourself brain damage: https://www.inc.com/jessica-stillman/reading-books-brain-chemistry.html

@eyrea @CriticalCupcake Just because the base work of science and arts might overlap does not mean art was there. Or needed. Sorry.

@chris @eyrea @CriticalCupcake Admitting you and your people made no cultural contributions at all is very brave.

Here's Leonardo Da Vinci with an illustration (from 1480 or so) that clearly shows the potential lift created by a helicopter design. He also built models.

Leo was known to dabble in illustration and painting too. There is no science without the arts. It's not a debate.

Music is mathematics in a way that mathematics couldn't even dream about all by itself.

By discussing about art, you prove yourself wrong, I think.

Do you watch TV shows? Movies? Listen to music? Read books (fiction OR non)? Wear clothes?

@chris
I like that you put these in a list. that is indeed one configuration, but the priority order changes. in a more prosperous global state for example the order would be more like art, education, science, healthcare, defense.

I see the necessity of each category as even wider than you've proposed.

no education: social regression.
no science: no capability improvements to other categories.
no arts: no quality of life.
no healthcare: no quantity of life.
no defense: risk to life.

I see the necessity of each category as even wider than you've proposed.
