You're only thinking of the manipulators and those who ~~relish~~ enjoy control over others.

You imply that the time could have been better spent in service of art or the community.

I ask you then, have you thought of the clerks? The assistants? Art? What of the writers?

Language can be used to control or manipulate yes. But before those purposes came, came the need for it to first exist, as a tool to forge connection.

To describe the sunset, give voice to the grief, and exclaim the joyous cry.
