That sounds like socialism of some kind.
Yes, in especially if you're trying to inspire confidence in them.
You you you want people to
willingly participate in them rather than having it forced upon them.
Do you know this word that I came up with years ago, which is senius?
Yes.
Okay, so that that was an attempt to try to understand that.
I had been studying the early twentieth century painting in Russia.
There was a twenty year period when
there were amazing amount of innovation going on, you know, suprematism, constructivism, Rayanism, all these different isms appearing.
And I discovered that the scene was very complex.
It wasn't just that there were a few brilliant artists like Kandinsky and Rodchenko and Tatlin and so on.
It turned out that some of the very important people were the collectors who would specifically target certain artists and say, I want to keep this person alive.
I'm going to support this person.
Or they would go to Paris and buy pictures that they brought back to St.
Petersburg and Moscow to show to painters there and say, Look, this is what's going on in Paris now.
And then there were the people who ran.
Salons who would invite artists to meet up with each other and talk to and so on and so on.
The cafe owner at the cafe that everybody used to hang out in, who was quite conscious that they had a part to play in the scene and they would let people not pay for their meals and so on, and put it on the tab.
And so I thought there was a whole scene here that was fertile, that was operational.
