Welcome to the dumbing down of humanity.
The arts have been under attack, so to speak, for decades. It’s always been under funded and under appreciated in the education system, and is habitually the first to be cut under budgetary reviews.
Yet, the arts are what we covet and appreciate most in our daily lives. Humanity doles out millions for original works of art, to see their favourite musicians play live, and hold in their hands the latest works issued by their favourite author.
The arts are such an intricate part of our human existence, it is nearly impossible to exist without experiencing or being exposed to it in some way, shape or form.
No other creature on earth creates as humans do. No other creature dreams and imagines alternate worlds, realities, sounds or images as humans do.
Until now.
It has learned what makes us human.
