Why I’ve Chosen Art Over Argument

Описание: Read the companion piece on Substack: https://open.substack.com/pub/kevintu...

What if the way we talk to each other could be art?

In this video, I’m reflecting on creativity, conversation, and why I’ve chosen to step away from political debate—and instead lean harder into making art, even in everyday interactions. As a novelist and storyteller, I’m exploring what it means to use words intentionally: to build up instead of tear down, to call out the good, and to engage with the world in a way that actually makes life better.

This isn’t about winning arguments.

It’s about shaping meaning.

If you’re someone who loves stories, books, thoughtful conversation, and the idea that words still matter—this video is for you.

In this video, we explore:
Why social media feels so toxic—and what to do instead
How writers and artists can change the tone of engagement
The difference between influence and argument
What it means to “create art” with your words
Why literature, story, and shared humanity matter more than ever
