As global population swells toward 8-9 billion and identity becomes more fluid, Speaker A worries people won't understand themselves. Speaker B argues art can help us process alienation in a tech-saturated world.
It's exciting, but it's also threatening because if we have 8, 9 billion people on the planet who are all in on identity crisis, because as you say, if it does get a bit weird and we can't understand the interior of ourself or selves as identity continues to be thought of in a more pluralistic way, let's say, I wonder what will happen to people, whether they'll be able to cope with it.
Yeah, you know, I think, not to be like super wide-eyed and overly optimistic, but I think that's one of the roles of art, honestly, to help people understand or to help people work through the feelings of alienation in this like super technologically mediated world that we live in. And I hope that we can contribute to that in a meaningful way.
