This is simply not true. Societies are propelled forward by:
- STRONG INSTITUTIONS - fair laws and regulations that enable anyone to become the best versions of themselves and to rise based on merit.
- Industry - the production of goods and services that other people want, increase tax base to invest in other things
- Innovation - how can we attract the best and brightest to unlock value through new technology
In most societies artists have always been at the fringes and the people who consume art have always been very wealthy. Art is a Luxury.
The best example of this is that most of our artists are coming from developing countries. Why isn’t Art launching their economies into global superpowers? Because these are regions held back by CORRUPTION.
We are creating a two-tiered society where Artists are somehow above everyone else. Validators are pissed off (I run one). Builders are pissed off. Regional Communities are confused. NF is… not comfortable. Why are you bending backwards to accomodate this niche?
