That’s one way to interpret the post. Another is that there used to be substantial permeability between high and low culture, and now there isn’t. I don’t think it’s far-fetched to suggest that least part of this divide originated in a misguided retreat on the part of high culture from the hoi-polloi.

why bother thinking for yourself what art is enjoyable or not when you can let The Invisible Hand do it for you?
