Which will be useful because you can tell me what needs explaining more and better.
Right. I'm not sure this is meaningful in the way we need it to be if we want to preserve a liberal, secular democracy and the concept of objective truth in a society comprised of many groups with different narratives.

It depends how you do this. The groups doing this most successfully at the moment range from Islamists to the Tea Party to the Corbynite left to the Jordan Peterson cult. I don't find any of them useful.

But I'm clearly none of those. I'm an artist by profession. That's how I choose to engage, and hope that I am helping change the world to something better in some small way through my actions.

As do I. It seems our ways are antithetical.

How so, though? I truly believe that everyone is an artist (though not by profession, of course). Everyone is driven by some kind desire for movement, surely? And things that facilitate this are generally positive.

I don't know what that means. Is an artist someone who is driven by some kind of desire for movement? You're really not saying anything and so conversation can't happen.
-
Yes, I was perhaps defining an artist here in the broadest terms as someone who imparts movement on the world. I'm sorry if you take issue with that spirit.
