capital in the arts acts as such a profound force for hierarchicalization that even attempts at reform just end up complicating it rather than dismantling it, the system survives unscathed, the chosen few Great Works still lie at the end of a long line of sieves, attention distribution is still a pyramid. glimmers of consciousness to the contrary are everywhere, but people aren't taught to recognize them, unite around them. but maybe it's still happening, slowly, here and there.
