Q: Don't you think that "focusing on the beauty" in life makes us susceptible to being fucked over by the powers that be? Rampant financial corruption, callous environmental destruction, ridiculous amounts of unnecessary suffering, and a media that distorts the truth in the face of all of this isn't going to be fixed by art. Obviously, beauty and goodness exist. But the truth behind the way we live is so, so ugly, it's impossible to ignore. I respect your decision to make music. But is this situation we've put ourselves in, as a human race, something we should seek to merely ameliorate, rather than tear down completely?
A: according to my best dictionary services, it seems like you're asking if we should make the world better or get rid of it. my opinion is we should make it better
