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...
