So, if I paint with my own shit, some idiot will buy it and proudly showcase it in his living room.
Honestly, instead of giving money to a**hole lunatics, just invest in startups that are truly helping others live better or simply give away money to charities. Giving is the best feeling in the world.
Anything out of the ordinary is considered art and it is considered art just because a bunch of uber rich people want to buy something different. That's the whole story of this boom...
