Not once did I suggest I had the cure to cancer...what I alluded to was that people who amuse themselves with conjectures and grand allures of philosophical debates about art or what it means etc,etc....seem to be a misuse of great intelligence when, as a global citizen of this earth, I see people empoverished all over the world, war killing many innocent people, acts of brutal terrorism, millions of people stricken with disease (not just cancer,by the way)....
Also, I disagree, art does not end wars or cure illnesses or advance civilisation.... as you certainly know youself, many instances in the past showed that art was a tool for war or a subsidiary reason for warring....
art is an overrated human occurance...
"Art feels like a tall long mirror wrapping humans around and shielding them with aesthetics and illusions of grandeur but , in reality, it is merely a selfish vehicle for the human ego, and even when man looks at himself and attempts to capture all that is him and around him and puts his one-way thinking imprint on it: Art."
Alain Breton
