First thought is that we like art because it's a different vocabulary. Same with music and food.
I repeatedly ask myself what emotion does this picture/sound convey?
We've all seen/heard it or something similar, and it evokes something primal, but there aren't really good words for it. I think art is like that.
For instance, why is Michael Heizer's "City" installation so moving (to me)? To put it in words, it means something about eternity or power, but I just sit and stare at the pictures and apply every year to be able to go see it in person.

Up to a point. After a while, theyâre wasting everyoneâs time. Thereâs no mandate to always listen to Flat Earthers, for instance.
It's the blind squirrel effect. They cheer when he finds a nut, but ignore the pile of rocks collected. And in this particular case, I'm sure there are points where I find him at least close to the mark as well, but I be they are different points that Beaker has. So we don't really even know when to cheer the squirrel except when we agree with his outcome.

I don't recall anyone actually saying Flat Earthers are among today's thought & opinion leaders. But maybe that's just me.
