Foundation yields meaning.
One incapable of sustained, rational thought cannot comprehend how any artist conceives, works, and expresses. This is a perpetual issue within the arts themselves.
It is the scenario in which is found the soi-disant charlatan, capable only of poor imitation, and unfit for the responsibility required of any chosen role. Such a malign character imposes a huge, particularly repellent burden upon the arts, seeking nothing more than self-aggrandizement while spoiling the repute of any expressive field with meaningless, pretentious absurdities. Destined for failure, most produce nothing, others go unheeded, while some small numbers benefit, in the way of predators and parasites, from the arbitrary distribution of government funding.
The solution remains what it has always been: rational thought, decisive action, and intolerance not only for fraud and corruption, but for the conditions which make it possible for them to thrive.
