The more things UNESCO declares an exceptional heritage, the less special they are.

To me the shark is already jumped, but I don't think they'll ever quit.

You kind of miss what the UNESCO Intangible Heritage list is actually about. It’s not like they’re handing out gold stars to things they think are "the best" or most "exceptional.

The whole point is to recognize and help preserve living traditions.
