>"Why make art? Aaaaallison, you have these woooonderful things in your brain called dennnnndrites. When you do something that requiiiires concentration, such as reading a booooook or drawing or paaaaainting, your dendrites will grooow. They will help you think aaaand transfer signals to your braaain faster. Doing things like plaaaaying video games and watching teleeevision shorten your dennndrites. If they get toooo short, it has beeeen shown that it can lead to braaain cancer."

Yup, based on whatever scientific and worldly knowledge I have, that sounds mostly like a load of crap to me. I'm not saying reading and stuff isn't good for you, it's just that this guy seems to be putting to much stock into pseudo-science.
