I've watched Mark Manson on his YouTube channel and found his philosophy quite simple to understand. Basic stoicism really and a useful way to look at the problems of life.
Creating art in whatever form is primarily a personal experience and if we publish it. It is possible to find an audience. Not for financial gain but to share ideas.

The attention economy has corrupted this core concept and reduced 'art' to a transactional experience. Not solving any problems but deflecting the public's attention and making it harder to understand what the real problem is.

I think Mark Manson has capitalized on this and made a career from offering his assessment of the current state of affairs.

In the end 'we' have to take the steps to solve these problems. 👍
