   last night at a podcast some art people were talking about how tech billionaires are uncultured swine (true) but aside from that there was this interesting point about the ability to appreciate something that is *not* about yourself, and see its value even when it doesn’t contribute to your personal metrics or whatever

     @lzg 😆 about appreciate hot girlfriend's pottery. A lot of this is about being able to think critically. In a former life I was a professional art critic when it was slightly more possible to at least partially survive as one, we all have our personal tastes and affinities but being able to think beyond that is what critical analysis is about. Though my favorite part has always been talking to people about their work and meaning. I really miss doing that, maybe I need to find a way to start doing that again for fun and also a way to talk to people about deeper issues.

     @lzg I'm v down with this but also when you say "at a podcast" -- were you podcasting or is this an extremely cool new way of saying "the space of listening to a podcast which I was occupying last night". Either way I'm gonna start saying it.
