Expanding ones horizons absolutely does and should include art history, which is a part of human history.

Love the name and shame. Everyone needs to know about this guy
Full brim, white and beige. Classy AF
Indiana Jones & The Last Crusade
Saw this one so many times when I was younger
There is no way around light speed and conservation of momentum.
That we know of, yet. We haven't even had particle accelerators for a hundred years; let's give it at least 500 years of scientific research and discoveries before we say definitively that we absolutely know, without any doubts, that there's no way around conservation of momentum.
I ain't saying there is a way; just that we are very young, and very immature.
Anyone who buys into Will.I.Am's hype is automatically the wrong person to run anything more than a lemonade stand
Also, gave a platform to "John of God". She's sketchy AF
Whoops, guess I'm now the enemy of a hundred million Americans
My bad
Aww, thanks! Consider me slightly more educated than when I awoke this morning :)
I still don't know what ich_iel is and at this point I'm too afraid to ask
It's been two and a half months, but I'm almost done creating a board game from scratch. It's like Risk, but Cat themed, and featuring a massive deck of cards.
Next up, gotta start work on the prototype before I can invite some people over to play and hopefully learn if this game actually works as a concept, needs some rule tweaks, or is utterly confusing and broken.

While your points about the patronage system and its weaknesses are valid, you're writing off several centuries worth of legitimate human endeavor because the systems that enabled it were dodgy. Guess what though? That's literally all of history, dodgy AF, featuring an intrepid cast of characters more awful the deeper you look. That doesn't make the art or music worth writing off though.
But honestly:
"Earnest" is definitely not the word you're looking for. Derivative, maybe, because you said it yourself, they're reflections; and as such, they're going to reflect what images of today are; like you said. That makes them derivative, and I feel a vast artificiality that makes my heart sink when I look at the vast majority of them.
Choosing machine-created art over historical art is choosing a passing fad over centuries of culture. It's your right; but to write off history with a wave of the hand means you're missing out on truly expanding your horizons.
