My guy, all jobs are ultimately pointless if you look at it from the biggest perspective. The best that they can do is to make someone happier, which art does by adding meaning and beauty to people’s lives.
Edit: additionally, we actually have enough for everyone, and most conventional jobs ultimately end up exploiting the shit out of nature and humanity for the benefit of the rich. Art is fine.
I would honestly say that the creation of art is more important than most current jobs in society.
Art is what I really live for, most of everything is either about survival, comfort, or convenience. Remember, most of the entertainment you consume is a form of art, from videogames, to tv shows, to youtube videos, to books, to drawings, to stories.
Without art, life would have much less meaning for me.
So are about half of the white collar office roles, so will about half of general warehouse labor with the robotics coming in, including multiple humanoid competitors.
When 30%+ unemployment is the new normal within the decade, will you still side with system of the gluttonous owners who tell us to fight to the death in tribute to their greed? Will you declare that a third of the population dying in the streets as just lazy and not the dwindling employed’s problem?
The left side is unironically true

says the guy emotionally moved by a piece of art.
You’ve never read a book, listened to music, watched a movie or TV show, you don’t hang art on your walls and you never went to school?
You’ve been consuming art your whole life and, for a great many people, contributing to them paying their way.
Every ticket bought, every ad you watched, every game played: funding artists.
“funding artists” is more like. “Giving artists barely enough to scrape by and the rest of the actual profits to the shareholders”

No its not.
Being a try hard in this economy makes one a joke.
With AI making advances, the role of the artist is being diminished little by little.
