Tell someone you're an artist, and they'll advise you to get a "real job." Tell them you're building a tech platform to extract value from artists, and they'll ask for your pitch deck.

@Daojoan This is the basis to the plot for the recently released game, Split Fiction.

It's a great game.

@Daojoan for the last 30 years when I tell folks I’m a graphic designer I get nods of recognition and approval. When I tell them I’m an artist they look at me with a question on their lips, but unsaid: “and what do you do for money?”

@Daojoan besides all of the other critiques of capitalism, the Marxist economic materialist lens, the destruction of the environment, and accumulation of wealth in the hands of very few, one of the most important failings of our economic order is how is fails to promote beauty or human expression.

@Daojoan As someone who was spat on by family for wanting to pursue art, 100% to this.

@Daojoan Right, because a "real job" is where workers get exploited.

@Daojoan in the past - when civil-infrastructure were destroyed - it rebuild itself because there no replacement.

Now - AI is replacement to entire civil-infrastructure (include art and everything else).

@JA Westenberg That's what happens, when you ask "artists".
