I definitely think we should have a common cause here. I would say that art, with the exception of pure representational painting and sculpture, is purely subjective. Science is not purely objective, because people are not objective, but it is as close as we can come to objectivity. (Please note that when I say “science” I am referring to the natural sciences, and not eg economics.) There is some merit to the canary in a coal mine analogy, but I guess I’m curious as to what specifically constitutes suppressing the arts in this context. I’m thinking they haven’t actually made artistic expression illegal, so I’m curious what suppressing means.
