  • I'm going to make this discussion not suck.

    You are approached by the god of entertainment. You must determine the preservation of one form of entertainment; sports or music. Whichever you don't pick will cease to exist, people will remember its existence but will be unable to replicate it. Assume whichever you decide to keep picks up the economic slack from the loss of the other.

    I'd pick sports.

    A.B.E.

    LOL no. I spend about 95% of my day with a song in my head. No chance I can deal with that radio silence.

    Well, I mean, that’s what it is. I doodoo and then listen to Katy Perry.

    In 100 years are museums going to have exhibits on art from the year 2012? It seems like all of the best art already happened and we missed it.

    I'm convinced that any art from this period is going to be completely forgotten. I'm also convinced that if something gets passed on, it will do a terrible job of representing this era...like P. Diddy's Greatest Hits or Two and a Half Men.

  • You can't make art not exist. Your house is architecture, it's art.

    Architecture is no more inherently "art" than jogging is a "sport."

    It depends whether we are talking each as a commercial endeavor or eradicating the existence of the entire activity.

    I wouldn't be impacted all that much if NBA, NCAA (or even HS) sports ceased to exist, but I'd have to rethink art vs. sport if it meant that during my entire life I would have never been able to play pickup basketball or start to learn judo/BJJ. I'd probably still pick art over sport, but not being able to have even the lowest level athletic competitive activity would really suck.

    Or tag. If you give up sports, you're basically accepting that everyone will be obese.
