Skate culture is decidedly not intellectual (it’s changing, but generally the exception is for skaters to have degrees), so skaters that may have otherwise been drawn to some random field or pursuit as a side passion (say computer science or gene-sequencing) lack the exposure or background required, and hence go towards pursuits with lower barriers to entry (see 1).Of course other externals confound these points specifically (e.g. current math education does a poor job of teaching interesting material, education quality has high variance, different interests yield more social capital). Also many of skating’s current legends were themselves into art, so the lagged influence among current practitioners is somewhat natural and expected.[close]What’s your goal with a response like this? You clearly have not understanding of the actual art world and market. I can’t imagine you’re over 18 with a post like that, so maybe I’m the clown here for responding at all, especially considering your comment that “the arts have a lower barrier to entry” when there’s ample evidence to show that high art and even just selling enough art to support yourself and be seen as respectable prove that’s not true.
