T-Rex: Someone is born, creates some amazing art, then dies.
T-Rex: Great!
T-Rex: TERRIFIC!
T-Rex: The amazing ART is terrific, I mean - not the fact that deaths must come to us all.
Dromiceiomimus: Death truly does come to us all, T-Rex.
T-Rex: It sure does, but there's no time for that now!! I'm trying to talk about ART!
Utahraptor: So what are you saying?
T-Rex: That it's mostly made by dead people!
T-Rex: Every day more living people create art - but then THEY die too! The vast majority of all art was created by the DEAD, Utahraptor!!
Utahraptor: True, but the alternative is worse. If most art is ever again made by the living, it means we've lost our entire cultural memory!
T-Rex: Either that, or we've had a HUGE population explosion that our planet DEFINITELY won't be able to handle for long, haha.
T-Rex: ...
T-Rex: ...So if that ever happens you'd better make some paintings STAT
