"What it means in practice is that we tend to spend free time consuming culture instead of making it. Instead of writing a story or attempting to paint something or learning a piece of music, we watch TV or go to a movie.

There’s nothing wrong with consuming culture, of course. But what are we losing if that time is never spent making things, and making them for their own sake?"

Beautifully said, and reminds me of this equally beautiful tweet by why_:

"when you don't create things, you become defined by your tastes rather than ability. your tastes only narrow & exclude people. so create."
