I get were you are coming from but I just don't buy the idea that rich people are smart. There is a lot of noise and randomness in making wealth. My very rich (fortune 500 executive) uncle said that wealth is a roulette wheel and he built a company from the ground up. second point of disagreement that the selection of consumer goods is not largely bullshit. Point of evidence Apple. The greatest American philosopher Phineas Taylor Barnum was not just whistling Dixie. With all this said I think art can be transcendent. but just like most things in life a lot of it (97%) is bullshit.
