Doctor Worm certainly is a fictional character. Ana Ng, Mr. Me, Skullivan... so none of TMBG's song have had an impact on society? They've influenced tons of bands and have uncreased the music-making and music-distributing talents the world over.

And that's just Them.

I think a lot of you's is missin' the point- ITS is just saying it's not necessary for survival, and he's right.

For survival. As humans, it's entirely necessary. Even cavemen drew on the walls.

I really don't think it's "necessary," so much as "inevitable." "Necessary" implies that we as humans can't live without it, which you yourself said was false.

I'll counter that. I believe that creative output (music/drawings/stories/etc.) is overwhelmingly stimulating to the human brain, and is totally necessary to preserve cognitive ability.

True, but fiction =/= creativity. You can easily write a song about a factual subject, or paint an awe-inspiring landscape. Heck, I'm sure there's someone out there who gets a kick out of writing history books.

Even Einstein wrote the amazing fictional novel What I Really Wanted To Use the Atomic Bomb For.

wonderful, but that has nothing to do with whether fiction is important or not.

You have nothing to do with understanding sarcasm.

we have, youve been too busy coming up with some bullshit rebuttal that avoids our points. Maybe you should stop ad homineming, and start building a case for your statement.

dont blame me, i quoted, went out, posted it.


well, maybe you should blame me.

but nevertheless, here's a point just off the top of my head. without fiction we would not have movies. movies alter pop culture and movie stars are a large part of that. movie stars get paid large sums of money, affecting the economy.

and i thought we had established that the "because it's not vital it's not importnant" point was untrue long ago. Neutral
