I think you are trying to be profound and cynical. In the future you will see how much that was worth, despite what you think now.
Watermark youth has a tendancy to not want to recognise experience. Every piece of the world of education which you rightly value is part and parcel of someones experiences in life.
Us old people have been where you are. Have you every been 50? Have you ever been 35? You are a very bright young man and are well ahead of most of your peers. I have been in the stage you have been in. I have watched my Bros and Sis's walk your same footsteps. I can NEVER know exactly what you are going through but there is a commonality to human experience. To ignore it would be utter stupidity for anyone who seeks to learn and know this little journey we all take.
Formalism meaning focused on form, instead of content. Technique over meaning, etc.
Formalism is no more wrong than any other artistic device.
What the hell is dark materials anyway. I know google is my friend, but you guys are my my bitches.
Books, asshat, you wouldn't be interested.
I write books in my sleep.

Can you even read?
It's just shitty. It's not wrong. It's conscious detachment of art from humanity, propounded by nihilists.
Do you know what it's like to write a novel or a song?
I have never written a novel , I have written songs , wrote poetry, painted a picture, thrown a pot, made Jewelry,Acted in a play, sculpted in clay along with a few other things.
Art is very theraputic and helps man connect with himself and others in a deeper way.
Man is an artist by nature.
that's not what I'm talking about.This reminds me of art in the soviet union, where anything that was too complex and not optimistic enough was denounced as "formalistic" and the creator hung.
I read the scrawlings on the cave walls of man's collective unconscious history. Does that count?
No it doesn't. But it does qualify you to post in the Conspiracy Theory forum.
Are you being emotional?
Just kidding.
Creating is what made us different from other species. Its in our blood to create. Art is a way to apply this to our modern world where creativity is often sidelined in favor of being a cog in the wheel.
It soothes the creative beast in us all.
