There’s a population of talented creatives who are unheard of because they understand things past the confidence threshold (after which the more you know the more you realize you don’t know about it) so the only people talking and writing about a subject are the loud, confident, commercially driven individuals who only know half (or less) about the thing. It’s not that the lightning-in-a-bottle creative doesn’t want to make money or are too bohemian, edgy, or dumb to figure out a way to do so, it’s that they know that the thing their talent is geared towards, in its entirety, is so grand and beautiful that to try to put any of it into human language feels impossible, and to dumb it down or democratize it in anyway feels blasphemous. It’s not that they believe capitalism is bad or whatever but because any attempt to put what they understand into a marketable, public, perceivable form hurts their soul knowing it won’t be even damn close to the truth
