The wiser you are, the easier you get bored. It's a curse of being wiser. Oblivious people see mystery everywhere, how amazing life is that. My friend totally thinks earth is flat and often sends me some tiktok videos to prove it. I never attempt to burst his bubble, but I think people on r/singularity are somewhat better than that.

Academia is not wisdom ...academia to some extent is engineered to make people more narrow minded , climb down your ivory tower , You just sound like an arrogant nihilist ..username checks out , Oblivious people are amazing because they can explore oblivion , one can harvest true wisdom ; mystery and astonishment is bountiful in the void .

i do both, and live a very fulfilling life without worrying about buying or selling art. my hunger is not satisfied with one concept of art like i would spend my life making pencil sketches, I've made a lot of charcoal and pencil stuff over the years. but i would never want to do it too make ends meet.
