We need art. Art is what gives life meaning.

But it gives those who float through life without any practical purpose, purpose. You don't understand, man! It's just so deep.

Only a life lived in the pursuit of productivity, efficiency and economical value is truly meaningful!

Lol no it's not, and I say it as an avid consumer of several different artforms.

Also, even then, you don't need a specific artist to make it for you, you can make art too.

The fact that art thrives in mercantilist and capitalist societies is a testament to the fact that want, and not need, drives the market.
