    saw the NYT story but didn't read it, because you already know that his parents are bourgeois and connected in the art world

      Its a rug pull economy.

      Someone decided "we need more young artists to exploit" so they dangle the story out in front of gullible parents and wait for people to bite.

      Mass media is just how the bourgeoisie go fishing.

      How is this “uplifting” to anyone?

      We're living in a meritocracy so anyone making beaucoup-bucks is good and skilled

    yea, looks like pretty much what i'd expect from a precocious child with rich parents who's been conditioned to seek praise from them
