I never cease to be amazed by the naivety expressed by so many liberals in the arts and academia. Artists and performers in particular seem to cultivate a childlike view of the world. However, I'm not sure whether a Rousseauist concept of human nature explains it entirely. Ingrained guilt about their own good fortune seems partly responsible.

I wish it was just that! If so why don’t focus on helping the ordinary folks who are victims of distinction instead? If you just had guilt but understood humanity I think you would do that.
