Ok, I think I finally understand where you are coming from.
I'm tempted to say writing of this nature really should be uncreative. He isn't stupid by my estimation. The purpose of UR, for moldbug, was to explore metapolitics and create new ideologies. It's an indulgence of his contrarian, argumentative nature which likewise draws people like us to threads like these to talk about it. Ideas aren't emotions, and playing with them isn't self expression.
Art might be a blind spot of his but I think we can use metapolitics to save it. All art is necessarily imitation of the world, illusionary. As such, the artist needs real world action to sustain themselves.
I think the dynamic within society will generally continue to be one in which leftists make art and rightists give leftists material to make art of. The Jacobite movement had a rich artistic side, invigorated by the romanticized lost cause of the Stuarts. Acting on certain principles can cause this synchronization of reaction and reation, but it isn't Moldbug's job to do this. He's two steps removed from the artist and will not have art made of him, rather, he inspires the subjects of future art if he is lucky. Without this fresh material art becomes nasty and ingrown, as artists try to portray art of art of art, recycling the illusions of other artists into increasingly inbred theorypaintings.
There's also an economic dynamic to art that is worth mentioning. I believe, as I think most reactionaries do, that patron funded art is superior to commercially funded art. I think this should be an obvious mapping from the existing principles of the thing. Libertarian anti-IP activism is greatly interesting to me as a result. I think if IP were dismantled it would see a rapid evolution and efflorescence of art, as commercial art dies and heartfelt independent art becomes ubiquitous. Art would become more reactionary without even knowing it, and uncreative reactionaries would be the greatest allies art ever had.
These two things are what neoreaction offers to reunite us with good art.
