I think you’re definitely correct that solving problems definitely requires creative thinking, that can be taught better through creative outlets like art, theater, and music. I wish people didn’t have such a shallow view of the “art world” as you put it. It’s not a parallel universe, because it’s all around us, in this universe.

While Warhol may have been cynical about it, he is correct in a way. I think that’s maybe what lead him to the whole pop art idea, recreating successful business icons, such as the Campbell’s, or successful people, like Marilyn Monroe.

I agree that saving humanity and our planet should be higher on the radar than it seems to be presently. People are ignorant it seems to what is happening all around them, much like some think art is only in museums.

Considering what Warhol said, shouldn’t big, successful companies do more with their power and social responsibility? If we start with influential businesses and have them think differently, more creatively, perhaps, would we start to see a change in how social issues are solved if everyone was involved?
