"Ambition discourse; I have a few thoughts. I can see why it struck a nerve: ambition is commonly understood as a self metric a measure of worth. That some artists are conventionally ambitious doesn't offend me but neither does it inspire me to "work harder". While the art market and attention economy are competitive art itself is not a contest. Plenty of inspired and influential art and culture made by slackers outsiders failures recluses or even (imagine) REGULAR PEOPLE in their day to day lives in whatever situation they find themselves with limited resources and opportunities.

"Some thoughts on the lists/models for quantifying NFT importance. I think it's useful to remember that the value being discussed here stems almost entirely from these assets status as collectible artifacts within a moneyed subculture. Period. Not from their art context or "cultural significance" (a term used loosely). Which is fine. I think there's merit as investment thesis (obv I'll be glad if it plays out) But it should be made clearer I believe the distinction is vital. I object to art being used as a simplistic crypto metanarrative. The art market is not art. Curated museum exhibitions"
