True art needs to make a comeback. Not this small-minded slop churned out by industry

I think you see it clearly. Being away from the overwhelming forces of nature, makes us afraid to interact with them on their terms as well. If we did this more, we would indeed be filled with awe again, and reverent at the dawn. We ourselves are forces of nature if we but claim our own power. We ourselves are sacred. Truth is sacred. Intimidating to be sure, but divine none the less.

Inspired! But I may not see the current culture as debased as is eluded to in this article. I can see beauty created in our current environment.

This lines up perfectly with the lecture I was just listening too. From Alasdair MacIntyre's address at the De Nicola center for ethics and culture "is friendship possible", he cites insincerity as the prime vice disabling friendship, making us inaccessible as we are unable to connect to anything but someone's lie about themselves without sincerity.

Also, children and people who lack the mental strength to fully grasp reality (in so far as our feeble human minds are able) Need to reduce their awareness to a simpler form. That is what words do. all narratives, all video games, all word based representations are in a way not just escapist, but reductionist. Thus any belief system based on those things, is not bound to the real world, distancing their followers from it. for example, the handiwork of the creator, clearly loves and enjoys diverse forms, having given them both instinct and free will. Thus the creator can fairly be said to rejoice in both diversity and free will.
