I propose the establishment of a dedicated “Arts” category within this platform to recognize and foster the development of a “Golden Age of Art”—one that advances figurative and representational art as the core of human creativity and expression. For the last 75 years, postmodern art, often championed by outside influences like the CIA, has shaped the cultural identity of the United States. This has led to a period where the arts have strayed from representing the best of humanity and human potential.
A “Golden Age of Art” would focus on innovative, evolving techniques in the figurative and representational genres, exploring the depths of human emotion, consciousness, and our collective aspirations. It would shift the cultural narrative away from abstraction and aimless conceptualism, re-establishing the representational art as a central pillar of societal development and national pride. This new age of art would uplift humanity through its capacity to connect, inspire, and elevate our collective understanding of what it means to be human.
In addition to the creation of the “Arts” category, I suggest that “Culture” be included as official tags for related policies. This will ensure that discussions about the future of the arts can be easily categorized and explored by all.

This powerful work of figurative art exemplifies the potential for a new Golden Age of Art, where traditional techniques and profound human stories intersect to inspire and elevate our collective consciousness.]
