God, that's a frightening concept. Seems to me art is one of the main things that makes us human, you know? The ability to write a poem or a story, to paint a picture, to create something that wasn't there before...once that goes also, what will humans do?

Amen! I feel such a kinship with anyone trying to make a living at a creative profession.

Same here, it's one of the things I like about this platform - it helps one connect to other creatives who understand the "struggle". As you say, it can be extremely rewarding as well...
