Hard disagree. Humanity flourished when we had the free time to think, play, and create instead of just hunting and gathering all the time. Language, collaboration, imagination all grew thanks to art.
Culture doesn't exist without art.
The rest of that column is basically "mosquitos", blegh. Maybe we can get some birds to eat them.
I knew someone would and I get it, but you're thinking emotionally, not rationally.
You're only thinking about your survival and productivity, and even then only in the short term. A society deprived of everything beyond survival and productivity is going to implode.
