“Pretty shitty how baseline human activities like singing, dancing, and making art got turned into skills instead of being seen as behaviors, so now it’s like ‘the point of doing them is to get good at them’ and not ‘this is a thing humans do, the way birds sing and bees make hives.’”
Counterpoint, modern art has desperately tried to move into the territory of “things people just do” and its terrible.
Fine arts and the old arts are pretty goddamn spectacular in comparison.
Skill and effort should be celebrated, and people should also be able to just do.
