I love art. Contemporary art is a bunch of ugly wankery by pretentious people who are bored of actual beauty and can only amuse themselves by creating ugly stuff, then claiming "you just don't get it". The world would be a significantly better place without contemporary art in it.

This could have been written at any point after the 1850s or so.

		1850? I wager we could go all the way back if we tried. > (…) the Italian artist and writer Giorgio Vasari,who used it as early as 1530, calling Gothic art a "monstrous and barbarous" "disorder". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gothic_art

		Indeed. Once galleries became significant buyers of art, scandalous art became an attractive thing to produce: it commanded outsized attention. The dynamics are similar in Twitter today, too.

If there is any change I could make to the human personality at large it would be the reflexive opinion that anything you don't understand, or even dislike, is automatically morally wrong.
