I'm like, I'll just put my money in some, like, whatever mutual fund that people think is right.

I don't have the time for this.

Look at the expression of horror on your faces.

I'm just like –

Yeah.

Like whatever, like whatever, like let me find an expert quickly to figure out what to do and they will tell me what to do.

And I think that's exactly right.

One way to put it is what do you get if you...

Outsource all of your art decisions to either crowdsource or to crowdsourcing via Rotten Tomatoes or to a bunch of experts who tell you the correct things to like.

Like, what does it get you to outsource that?

Right.

I feel like there is a space where developing your own tastes and finding things that please you is far more important.

than deference to experts because the experience of art is essentially personal.

And because I think like developing your taste is like part of the thing.

That's the game.

Like, here's my real worry.

I feel like I can't think you're cheating if you just let other people push you into the artwork that you like and not cheating because you're bringing some rules.

Like you're cheating yourself because the thing that is valuable is the thinking through about what's important and whether you like things or not.

And if you just like suck that in from the outside,

then you're not doing this like beautiful, you're giving me the stare.
