Well sure, but he asked "should we expect the pursuit of the creative, beautiful, and transcendental to be a career?"
My answer is no not necessarily. One can pursue it in their free time. Whether it should be a career or not is honestly an invisible hand question (aka capitalism). I'm normally not pro invisible hand such as in the case of healthcare, but when it comes to stuff like this, I totally am.
It might be beneficial to have dedicated people to do this, but a lot can be accomplished by free time.
- popalchemist 1y agoI direct you to The Society of the Spectacle, a postmodern marxist critique of capital and its infinite growth, which, due to man's limited resources (free time, life span, etc), inevitably encroaches upon man's ability to pursue such things. If we do not explicitly carve out a space for the arts and other transcendental pursuits, capitalism eats them. And then the cancer grows. So it is a moral imperative to make it possible for SOME of us (obviously, not everyone is called to such things) to pursue these things exclusively.
