>My point is simply that they are trivial. If all art suddenly disappeared it wouldnt really matter. If knowledge about, and/or the fruits of STEM stuff disappeared it would be a huge setback, it could cause civilization to collapse.
I'd say it's mostly the opposite: civilization is what remains when you remove most of the STEM -- and culture surely is that.
We could be savage warmongering apes with fully advanced STEM. And we often are.
