Too true. I remember thinking during covid, when art was obviously under attack, that artists would one day become most rewarded. Art is the talent for the future, after we move to solar indexed stimulus, as nature appears to be insisting we do.
Everyone will have to become artists after that, this is what will make some folk stand out from the crowd, it will be a competition of art, rather than of dishonesty as it is now.
Its a very different world coming next :)
