Grimes: "What they don't tell you is that capitalism itself is the most obvious vehicle for intelligence and evolution" and it only gets more genius from there
You heard it here first: you should only fear the market once it becomes a bazinga-imperative robot god. Before then, lazy women keep the worst excesses of the market in check, which Grimes claims is a good if temporary thing... i think?
I feel the same way about Grimes that I do about Kanye West: I didn't like the music to begin with, liked the message/themes of the music even less, and yet there was a great fandom wall of "this is a tormented genius, separate art from artist" immediately erected once they got their cryptofash on.
I've never understood the fascination with Kanye West. I knew so many people who just thought he was an absolute genius. The same goes with Taylor Swift.
I feel a bit like a contrarian in that I tend to avoid anyone that large numbers of people call a genius in the music world.

I got pushback everywhere, including on this site, during my early attempts to criticize him. He was literally announcing he was a god even at the time, but tormented artist this and separate art from artist that.
