Fuck that dude. You have been cucked by the fake ass academic world.

Here is the real illumination.

>yfw you realize "art" in itself is a meaningless abstract term that has no real value other than to sell things to people. "art" is just a description applied to the more general concept of entertainment. Entertainment is something many animals need and seek in everyday life when they aren't looking for food and shelter. You now realize "art" only exists to create an artificial environment for the human mind on a piece of entertainment. It is a form of entertainment upon the standard piece of entertainment itself. Why is this realization important? Because it shows just how pretentious we are as a species, and it's time to open your mind and let go. It's all subjective, and the only thing you can truly do that comes from within is to know what you like and be fine with it. Create what you know, create what you love, create what you think will entertain yourself, and don't give a fuck about this "Art" game. It's all a game, it's for museums and colleges and merchandisers.

>Small local library next to a highschool.

Full of elementary and middle school kids playing Minecraft clones on the library computers.

Mothers with crying babies

Old people reading the news and magazines

Nobody actually browsing books

Some fedoras browsing the dvd section for art films.

Non-fiction entirely comprised of outdated shit you could just google, lots of interesting biographies though.

Fiction full of absolute garbage except for a few exceptions.
