Episode 21: Do We Need Beauty? (No Ads)

In a recent Ted Talk, actor Ethan Hawke said "Most of us really want to offer the world something of quality something that the world will consider good or important. And that’s really the enemy because it’s not up to us whether what we do is any good. And if history has taught us anything the world is an extremely unreliable critic. Right. So you have to ask yourself do you think human creativity matters? Well hmm most people don’t spend a lot of time thinking about poetry right? They have a life to live and they’re not really that concerned with Allen Ginsberg’s poems or anybody’s poems until their father dies. They go to a funeral you lose a child somebody breaks your heart. They don’t love you anymore. And all of a sudden you’re desperate for making sense out of this life. And has anybody ever felt this bad before? How did they come out of this cloud? Or the inverse something great. You meet somebody and your heart explodes. You love them so much you can’t even see straight. You know you’re dizzy. Did anybody feel like this? What is happening to me?HUMAN CREATIVITY IS NATURE MANIFEST IN US. And that’s when art’s not a luxury. It’s actually sustenance. We need it.
