Taxonomy upgrade extras:
Honestly, what would society be without art?
You ask and try to grasp this in a feduciary context
and we all know things are more complex than this.
Killing art is like ripping the heart out of society.
A dead and lifeless corpse through once blood circulated.
All electronic, chemical, computer, mathmatical engineers
and what is so much of this technology sourced for and what may, do they perhaps,
spend a sheckle on?
Yes Art, visual and auditorial stimulation.
Never mind, I do not diminish Philosophy and it's answers.
But most people respond to art.
Art of nature is what created the dream and realization of flight.
In the corpse of limited mobility and suffocation of art as the situation
we see people respond like highly adaptable, mobile automatons.
I need not expound on the countries I speak of for I think you of sound intelligence
to make sense and hence go forward, towards progress and success of reanimation.
No, no not a bastardization or abomination but Organic as much as possible.
Thoughts?

Ellen Dissanayake
I recommend that you check out the work of Ellen Dissanayake. She explores a lot of the same ideas and questions and she is much more eloquent than I am.
Here's a link to get you started:

although this article doesn't mention, except in passing, that he's a very creative theorist in the physiology of Art, its origins in the brain, and where it lives in all of us.

Although he's not listed on the DVD description, he forms a major part of the exposition.
He's also talked about the origins of religion in the brain, although I can't pin down exactly where I remember seeing it. It was in the context of epilepsy, as I recall. It may have been in the Series, Consciousness, but I could be wrong.

Fine Art
I think fine arts have co-opted the entirety of art, ignoring the artisan to focus on the artist. I am not saying that fine arts are not important, they are, but in the fight for their place, particularly fighting against people saying something is not art, they themselves have ignored artistic activities.
Watching a skilled carpet-layer, lay carpet, after doing it yourself, and one can notice an artistic difference in the two approaches. Watching a century in snooker can be as amazing as watching a dancer. Myself, I am more able to see elegance in an ERD, than in a painting.
Point taken.
What I was writing was partially a critique on how some feel it would just be suitable to yank the funding out of Fine Arts and focus only on Reading, Writing and Arithmatic. The issue is those people in engineering, what usually entertains them, enthralls them as the Arts do? Also what the heck would do people spend massively on but the Arts? Sure it may not be a painting but movies are easily a part of the Arts.
What is an ERD by the way?
Hard to say...
I'm guessing number 2
