to me, sculpting(classical) is the most true form of art,and painting comes right after it.

Greek? Egyptian? Sumerian? Mesoamerican? Neolithic Art? Out of genuine interest, because I must say your answer surprises me, what culture's sculpture are you referencing when you say "classical?"

ancient greek, renaissance and baroque. :)

Phidias, Michelangelo, Bernini. Very cool. One has to wonder how they envisioned light and shadow in the days before spotlights.

A video game is the closest I've ever come to a perfect synthesis of a multitude of creative mediums, without question. But in isolation, among the arts, music holds a most fearsome power. I'm speaking as a writer, artist, and musician.

Nationalism is tribalism writ large. It's not "wrong", it's just a throwback tradition that reflects how the world was once organized; birds of a feather flock together. It's main use today is as a tool for political ends. But people rank politics behind the ability to obtain food, or the ability to stroll down the street without being shot. I've heard said that people vote with their feet. In these days, with mass migration, global commercialization, media homogenization, and instant communication, discrete geographical entities on a map are becoming meaningless. The only thing manifest in destiny is that you should know why you choose to follow a flag.

Conquering new lands is a costly endeavour. Those who lust for conquest know no taboos.

In a stable situation it is easier to aim for mastery of a subject. In the real world being a Jack of all Trades may keep you alive long enough to eventually become highly proficient at a particular skill. Specialization and mastery has rewards, but it also renders you vulnerable if you land outside your field of knowledge.

I came across a headline in today's Business Section of the Muggle Morning Herald that may shed some light on the question..."Staffs R' Us having difficulty finding retail space in Diagonal Alley."

If you can handle Ben Stiller's 'style' of comedy, and parodies of both the Vietnam War and the entertainment business, then you'll most likely find enough to get you through Tropic Thunder. The cast has some scene-stealers and set-chewers, and they provide some memorable episodes. The movie doesn't always work, of course, but I was surprised at how much of it served to make me chuckle.

They're both superlative works. Lord of the Rings is a lovingly told tale that has become timeless literature; Game of Thrones is an engrossing epic that will become a new standard. I regard them both highly, though I prefer Lord of the Rings, mainly because it was such a large part of my 'fantasy lexicon' during my formative years. It's been the go-to book for fantasy archetypes for decades.
