This definitely was catalysed by Effective Altruism, but our wider society doesn’t have a coherent relationship with art and beauty at all. It’s like we believe we have a drinking problem whenever we’re consuming art. What’s a recovering artist to do?

So y’all, what I’m really asking for is thoughts and links on beauty and it’s relationship to things like responsibility, compassion, solidarity. How can you seriously make art without abandoning a responsibility to usefulness, connection, service?

Some art yanks at your... ~soul. Pulls you toward making the world better. Not just more beautiful. Yes, some art is untethered from this tilting towards the good. But not all. E.g. YT helped me unlock some old heartbreak I thought I was past:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKSDctC2o-s …
