Nils,
Perhaps you could refine your question(s)?
You seem to be after something other than empty theorizing. That is, you haven't settled your own worldview--and this limits how you might approach your own writing. The "get a life" advice is parallel with "get a view," in this case.
Interestingly--and, given the rambling & abstract nature of your posts above, perhaps accidentally--the areas that seem to be the most bothersome for you could be said to be the results of just the sort of communal-think patterns such a questioning/questing thread as this might promote. So "get a life" or "get a view" would really be advice to stop asking others for a worldview which you could adopt: Do your own thing, in other words.
But in case I am quite wrong about your motivation, I'll posit this for consideration: How do changing worldviews, in the individual and/or in the society, shape approaches toward art? I'm thinking that the loosely named "worldviews" might be the result of more than merely aesthetic concerns. (For instance the supposed link between the theory of relativity & quantum physics theories, and post-modern or, now, "post-post-modern" approaches.)
One might suppose (I'd suppose) that in-depth analyses of various factors would require much time--and so distract from the actual creation of poems and fictional prose. Still, we are influenced by what we know/don't know.
