I think there are a few reasons why people today might consider science, technology, and business more important than art. First, in our fast-paced world, there is a greater emphasis on practical skills that can lead to career opportunities and financial stability. Science, technology, and business often offer more direct paths to these goals. Additionally, technology and social media have made information more accessible, which can lead to shorter attention spans and a preference for quick, easily digestible content, which may not align with the slower, contemplative nature of art.
