"We know nothing of man, far too little. His psyche should be studied because we are the origin of all coming evil."Much to be written here about this and much that comes afterwards, but time won't permit at the moment. When I listen to this segment, this quote in particular, I think of mankind's competing capacity for creation and destruction, of how the Information Age has delivered not clarity but a blizzard, of how the sheer naked lust for power dwells impatiently within us, that we are on the brink of innovations that we barely understand the impact of (the internet of things, AI, robotization, gene customization...) and I have to conclude that if science will take too long to deliver insight into the human mind, then art will have to pick up the slack.
The history of art has shown us to be prescient in the past, can a new generation contribute in the future?
