I’ve often talked with people about Saifedean’s chapter in the Bitcoin standard about modern art.

Modern money takes no work to create, and modern art takes no work either. Yet we’re told both are valuable. And if you don’t think some slaps of paint are valuable it’s because “you don’t understand.”

We have to bring back beauty of art and architecture being directly related to the work it took to produce; both the amount of work and the intellectual work.
