The Great Debate: Who Gets to Be an Artist
A collector says only world-builders deserve the title. We disagree.
Rising Tide – Episode 58
Listen to the episode on Pods, Spotify, Apple, YouTube, and everywhere else you get your podcasts.
In this episode, Darren and I unpack what really defines an artist, why that definition matters, and who gets left out when gatekeepers draw the line.
We also break down Apple’s quiet shift on NFTs and crypto payments, the true cost of always-on tech, and what new AI-at-work data says about autonomy and stress on the job.
In this episode, we discuss:
Why the “only world-builders are artists” take falls apart
What Apple’s updated crypto policy actually signals
How passive listening is built into your daily tech
The rise of tokenized real-world assets and the MSTY YieldMax ETF
What new survey data reveals about AI and workplace anxiety
