dance, art, human beings, nature as commodity ... (entertainment, distraction, commercial interruption, nothing serious)

 a recent discussion with a lover prompted me to reflect more on my reservations about treating dance, art, human beings as entertainment, nothing serious, palatable, consumable. 

entertainment helps to distract, distance, disperse before closer contact and engagement could happen.

looking around the planet and what the consequences are to this very day, I do believe we must once again re-consider at what price, how far we are willing to go.

a very extreme example, but with the Epstein files in the US of A not so strange at all, most likely not recent or local either.

there is a lot more that can be said.
it is one thing to kill to eat, even to make it delicious and extra nutritious. one cell eating another etc. but the waste and scale make a difference. 

i believe those who will survive the current apocalypse may simply not get the resources to waste very much, on the contrary. (much like European Protestants during the small ice age)
