Is it possible for a healthy mind to find Art as irrelevant?

Now that's a tough one!

I think I would ask you to define a 'healthy mind' and 'art' to begin with.

Another approach might be to think about the Basic Human Needs - could all of these be met without art?

Art as in-
Music
Paintings
Drawings
Plays
Movies
Poetry
ect. ect.

And I guess it isnt part of those 7 needs...

But, about that 7 needs thing...
Does talking to people on the internet(on forums and chat programs), qualify as coming in contact with people?

I havent come in any human contact(except for forums and chat programs... if that is considered human contact) since the beggining of this summer, I have just been sitting in my room, at my computer, or staring at a wall.




Oh yea, and I originally started this thread, because I see art as irrelevant, and music greatly annoys me.

I think it's perfectly possible for a healthy mind to consider art irrelevant, but also to consider the possibility that it just hasn't worked out yet how to appreciate art and that it might one day learn.
