Unfortunately, "society" doesn't control most of the value of anything. The monopolists do.

So the only really valuable kind of art is the art that can be used for speculation and money laundering.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
