It has come to my attention that billions of dollars are being tossed around and passed around also.
I should tell you a secret.
I can change the world for 300 bucks.
I can make a work of art that you will never forget. It is simply because I pay attention, I can put together something very simple with the only expense being paper, paint, and my own labor.
I can surprise you in a space that you had never suspected to see art, I can draw something and make a world for literally 50 bucks.
The materials that Leonardo used in his notebooks cost 10 bucks. It is the cost of his imagination that is high.
So be mindful and be aware of the cost of things. 500 billion is nothing, it will be soon forgotten. A five bucks worth of drawing could live for 500 years and never be forgotten.
Be mindful of 500 million, it literally means nothing. The only thing that survives the millennia is the creation of man and not the numbers of man.
Be really really vigilant when you throw numbers especially at artists.
Do you know why the Medici supported art? Because it is the Divine touch. Art comes from the place where the universe comes from. You can't replicate it, you can't make a Bernini marble, you can't make a Michelangelo fresco even if you throw like 100 million or a thousand million or billion at it.
The key is that the genius of man can't be bought, it can only be created.
Remember that 30 bucks worth of paint made a 50 million painting of Van Gogh.
Beware that your money is worth nothing in the universe where dark matter is probably the real matter.
But the genius of man, that is definitely worth the price, you should know that all along God created man for the genius of man.
No matter the billions of the billions of the billions you throw at a canvas you won't be able to make a Salvador Dali painting or Van Gogh painting because it is the human spirit that makes art not the hand or the molecules of the body.
It is a proven scientific truth that what artists created could never ever be repeated again. And that is why copies are never as valuable as the original. Artists are just magicians that could create value out of thin air. They can pull the strings of their soul, and be the Mozarts of paint.
I believe the spirit of man and woman comes from a different universe, it comes from the universe that created this universe.
