Music and art are needed now. People say STEM but the world is way past the point of technological salvation. Its down to saving humanity now, both an individual's humanity and that of society. People need dreams, and pain relief, continuity of big ideas and social cohesion, connection with fellow humans. Things that aren't easily transmitted through words.
Plato's ideal republic would keep music in the same tradition through generations, because when the popular music fundamentally changes the society will be altered along with it.
My violin keeps me sane and out of the trap of stress or depression driven consumption. Violins have been around for almost 500 years, they are the very embodiment of white civilization since the middle ages. There is a mountain of music of all sorts for it, like centuries of feelings and history and often people going through vicious times like the world today. I just started last summer, am teaching myself, and often I can't put the thing down until very late at night.
Meme images were a huge artistic hit. How they made people feel connection and relief and transmitted ideas.
This civilization is on the way to a crash. AI content? I swear a large part of the population will spend all their time reading AI stories, watching AI movies, and consuming AI music. It will go great with the pills and the goyslop.
The world is running out of energy. Peak oil is real. 85 million barrels per day consumed and this does not include natural gas and coal for heating and electricity. Resources get harder to find every year and they are running out. There is not anywhere near enough uranium to replace fossil fuels either.
AI content is just another way of leaving people behind, a voluntary culling suicide. They feel the despair and cannot overcome it. This is what is happening to the cities. The more dense the more energy they need or they succumb first to depression then to crime and filth.
Do you have art or music to turn to?
