Now you bring out the straw man as a defense? How about you use that idea for what you're typing as well.

You're not standing up for art and culture. You're not asking for a "little reflection". You are however just being a cynic. And cynicism is toxic. It's bad for health. It's a weird affliction. Worse it's actively harmful to society.

Optimism is better. Tools that create abundance are better. Managing scarcity is dystopian, and ultimately harmful. It's a mindset that needs to be purged. Creating abundance is a far superior mindset.
