Yeah, not worth it. Art is fine but it will never be more important than actual useful skills. Like it would be a shame if art ceased to exist, but life would go on. The same cannot be said for engineering or mathematics.

art, or emotion, guides how we use engineering and mathematics, so art/emotion are important, maybe even more important....but should we idolize it? should we idolize the worst emotions (envy? lust?)? probably not...complete removal of art would be akin to complete removal of half (one hemisphere) of our brain

Like I said, it'd be a shame to not have art. But lets not pretend like society would immediately collapse if we didn't have it like it would if everyone suddenly forgot how to do math.
