    Great art emerges from struggle, tension, violence, tragedy, oppression, death, war, disease, tyranny, uncertainty, confusion, mental unhealthiness, lost love, broken hearts, etc etc.

    The utopian environment this thesis aims to nurture will inevitably lead to an equilibrium of mediocrity. It'll be devoid of exceptional people and exceptional art. I do not want to live, unstimulated, in a 'nice' world like that.

    If you're honest, i don't think you do too.
