I saw this posted on twitter but I don't think that user is on BlueSky and I wanted to share it here... This interview with Ethan Hawke perfectly describes the importance of art.

Hmm. I don't know if a storytelling professional is being unbiased, when the use a very emotional communication techniques to tell you "storytelling is the most important thing".... 🤔

I LOVE this interview. Been watching it in bits and pieces, and he NAILS it.

I have watched this talk several times and enjoyed it quite a bit. This post made me go watch it again and for the first time it made realize with the first story that I take myself too seriously.

I love this!

I agree with him except I think art is never a luxury, but is always a necessity.
