Instead, art and culture have been safely neutralized as interchangeable commercial objects just like everything else.

At its best, cultural criticism is love and art that exists to give love to other expressions of art. It’s beautiful in its indulgence. A positive feedback loop that gives everybody exactly what they desire. Gods, scribes, muses, an audience, a culmination. This is what we want out of art. Something that feels grand, meaningful, connected to the ages. That doesn’t happen on its own. It needs context, dedicated space, deeper knowledge, appreciation.

as someone who started his first startup while in business school, and who still benefit, more than 10 years later, from all the lessons learnt and people met back then, I can't agree more 💯 🎯
