Isn’t that better though? VCs are only able to invest in economically viable development whereas governments can invest in culturally viable development?

No. Gov shouldn’t be spending 50K of tax payers money for someone to read about art history that’s available for free on Wikipedia. If society values a skill then it will be reflected in income before and after the education.

I disagree that you can or should define the full value of culture and societal benefits in money ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sure. You can pay for it. Don’t make others pay for it.

Do you consume any type of art? Music? Movies? TV?

Most of the music I consume don’t have a four year degree in music. Jay Z, Solomun to name a few. I don’t think great artist are made in universities. Hypothetically if a university can produce great artist then they will find investors to fund it.

Julliard is practically an EGOT factory. If you’re statement were true, why aren’t investors lining up to back those students?

Are there Julliard students who cannot find loans or private income sharing agreements ?

Why should they need to go into debt? Again, if your model worked, they wouldn’t need to, investors would be clamoring over themselves to back them. But they aren’t. So, do we want to live in a society where only rich kids get to formally study humanities/liberal arts? I don’t.

If the art is really good then they can make millions for 35K year tuition. If art is not that great then don’t take the debt. If there are no investors then it probably means the art isn’t worth the investment

Van Gogh died poor, yet we consider him a great painter nowadays. But beyond that, we don’t just have to appreciate the artworks to enjoy the fruits of people trained in philosophy, literature, etc
