Dealing with extremes, especially their opposites - You cannot live as if tomorrow is your last day, and yet also you cannot live as if life will never end .. your 'project's idea fits relatively(1) nicely into that.
I find it a difficult concept that one could point to a singularity and say 'That is what life is for'. Hence my agnosticism.
(1) Everything's eventual. All things are relative.
Maybe in England, we're closer to Eden. I'd like to believe civilization values aesthetics; yet in The US of America civilization is falling to pieces, and the ideal of building a beautiful dream, though it persists in the collective unconscious here -- exists not materially here. Maybe I'm just in a negative mood.
I do believe art brings a bit of heaven to earth. However, my country cares more about big business, science and technology -- not for ideas or for art's sake, but for money itself. "Our"/America's values are a bit screwy, from where I'm standing.
I like your vision, nonetheless -- and I hope that it's true.
