The more I read, the more I'm convinced that 99 % of literary / artistic discussion etc is all posturing and bluster. Good art isn't - I still read and watch stuff that's great and makes me feel all sorts of emotion.

Same goes for a lot of philosophy, I hate to say it.

Are you just trying to say that art is subjective and the art world is pretentious?

That's not ground-breaking.
