Woah! Woah! I didn't post the article or the video to start a huge fight.

I posted the article cause I thought it was interesting and I posted the video because, even though I don't know how wide spread it is, it makes some interesting points about the art world and market manipulation and at least on the surface, it makes some compelling arguments. I actually thought about a comment you made one time in reference to art and cars, both referenced in the article, that they're being used as tokens by the wealthy because interest rates are so low.

As for the video and whether people are arguing whether or not art is good cause of price, sometimes Adam Ruins Everything starts with a really lame strawman argument just to get the conversational ball rolling. I'm sorry about that. I didn't write the script. Once again, I just thought it had some interesting points to make.
