> It will foster the arts in ways we can not even imagine. > If you believe in a personal project you will commit to it no matter what and you wont risk bankrupcy (sic). Neither of those two statements are true. Much great previous art was sponsored by merchants and commissions, artists had to work for their money. Also, if you have a personal project that you believe in and are dependent on for food, you will commit to it no matter what. If you aren't risking bankruptcy/financial insolvency it's much easier to bail on an idea. > No more parents carrying with their sons until a good job comes. What does this even mean? > And many, many more... What are the "more"? Hopefully they're somewhat different than the points you've already brought up.

The art now is created by the people who can afford to create it because they know they are getting paid. How many poets do you know that in recent times are getting paid for poetry? Jazz artists barely survive if you don't count Woody Allen. Personal projects like freelancing can put your home at risk. At least in Spain, people until their 30s live in the parents home because they cant get a decent job in many cases. All the examples I've given are based in my personal experience, maybe yours is different.

  > The art now is created by the people who can afford to create it because they know they are getting paid. True, but not in the sense you mean. Certain arts die off and certain ones flourish. There is tons more digital art and computer animation, and less poetry and jazz artists. Why are you preferring one over another? Both are equally valid, except digital art and computer animation you can make a living off of. > Personal projects like freelancing can put your home at risk. How exactly is that? You might have to still work a job for stable income. Read Stephen King's "On Writing". He says that the idea that a creative person needs large chunks of uninterrupted time is ridiculous. If you really want to do something, you'll make time to do it. > At least in Spain, people until their 30s live in the parents home because they cant get a decent job in many cases. Why is that a problem? The idea of moving out at an early age has arisen with the baby boom generation. It's quite a recent phenomenon. In asia, you're not expected to move out until you get married and have a family. What's your point?
