Maybe birds are fake is true?!?!?

Maybe I'm right, maybe I'm wrong, but I worry that stuff like this is a waste of brain-power.

What is the point of it?  Is there any benefit that comes from it?  Am I missing something?

Is there a point to art?  

Will you at least admit that it is as worthy as spending 300 hours on a video game earning a killer sword and impenetrable armor? 

Besides, there are so many uses.

Messenger birds

Advertising birds.

Guide birds.

Surveillance birds

Assassin birds

Racing birds for the bookmakers

And for all of our friends cryptid birds, supernatural birds and UFO birds,

yea,  i agree, you are wrong,   there is a lot that can come from it,  think small, like drones.  drones indistinguishable from birds,  small as colibri, fast as falcon, there is unlimited market\possibility for them,
