You implied it when you straw-manned what I said and accused me of living without joy, just because I said other stuff is much more important than art.

Caring about other human beings.

The essentials are needed before art could have ever came into the picture. Food, warmth from the cold and human interaction.

Then I was not straw-manning. You are principally concerned with the essentials. A drab vitamin pill to cover your needs without excessive satisfaction.

I would argue that it is equally important to have those things which you consider trivial in this context; movies for example. Imagination, creation, the things that follow naturally after subsistence.

In any event, as I said long before, we'll never see eye to eye on this. And I'd as soon not argue it further. Please don't take that as a slight; I've appreciated the conversation and the quiz.

Have a good evening.

I don't take it as a slight at all and luckily it is such that we are able to have the essentials and art.

I love movies and music, but I love not dying in extreme pain and not believing the world was created in 6 days a bit more
