Most artists don't earn much of a living
They do it out of a need to create, for whatever reason.

Good. They don't deserve to feed themselves from the fruits of their labour.

They should get involved in something far more worthwhile, like insurance perhaps?

Without us, nothing you take for granted would happen. FACT.

Its fine to have a need to create
but (and I also have this annoyance with actors) don't pretend that what you are doing is worthy. Art adds a great deal to the human experience but that doesn't mean that you (as in the greater sense of the word) can be a cunt about it

Most artists couldn't give a shit about being 'worthy'
Like I said, they do it for themselves.

But it is natural and expected to justify the worth of what you do.
Look at Stunned thinking that insurance is somehow worthwhile and not just a protection racket.
You can't dismiss an artist for explaining the motivation behind her work.

It's froth.
People who work for a living are worthy.

Someone who lives on a rubbish tip in the Phillipines cares not for an actor's "process".
