it's been a few days but I just wanted to say I've been thinking about this a lot and I've come to believe that you're actually onto something. I feel like my outlook has improved significantly and I appreciate it a lot

A couple of things still bother me, however. First of all, if aesthetic appeal is entirely unimportant then why is every artist obsessed with improving their technical skills above all else? Secondly, if ideas live regardless of execution then does true improvement simply involve learning to have 'better' ideas? What does that process even look like?
