Please define "talented artist". Artist != someone who sells artworks. Selling art is something else than making art. You could argue that it is almost completely detached from making art.
If UBI makes 10% of the population "talented artists", what does that even mean? Who should consume all this art? Doesn't it make "art" much more common and thus, less valuable to society?
- ilkan 6y agoSupply and demand is not a law there is also sensitization and the creation of culture. A city with nice restaurants creates higher value on interesting food. The same applies to music-centred cities and art.
- keiferski 6y agoYou’re applying a market analysis to a place where it doesn’t belong. Kind of ironic, considering my original comment. Popularity or consumption is irrelevant. If someone is satisfied by writing books that no one reads, why is that a problem? Surely we all have hobbies that we enjoy for themselves, not for their social consequences.
