Dear @beastlybunter you're absolutely right in your analysis but I want to be a little more optimistic. I think that human beings still have margins of salvation. We Humans are able to create beauty and it is precisely on this target that we have to work. I follow you a few days and I appreciate what you write, as I appreciate other artists and not only on Steemit!
As Salgado used to say "art will save the world". (LOL)
