    something to actually 'say' that we're running out of as the form itself becomes increasingly diluted by trivial pursuits and 10-minute
    intermissions and break-times from a life of endless physical toil...

    that after 2 world wars the world has changed, and obviously not for the
    better as a humanity more interested in instant gratification increasingly rises to the fore, displacing Art altogether and replacing it with 30
    seconds of factual concision and fashionable soundbites in a world
    increasingly dominated by material/factual science; that in that sense
    science didn't so much 'kill god' so much as rendered everything devoid of
    any metaphysical mystery; that it is mankind's 'imagination' (and thus
    soul) that's fading as purely physical pursuits and endeavors increasingly become the dominant reality...
