Wow... I thought i had read it all in this thread but this surpasses it all. This kind of generalization is extremely dismissive and not founded at all.Artists are never altruistic, they are always narcissistic or histrionic at their core.

Making such statements requires providing serious sources. While you are at it, please have a look at the extensive research devoted to understanding the positive effects of music education on the brain for instance, or the link between high creativity with high IQ... etc... I am thankful for artists. Many make this world better !There has been a growing army of clinical researchers making the case that a high percentage of artists (fine artists, performers and writers) suffer from some form of mental illness. “High” meaning well above the general population. The degree of severity differs of course, but artists have been found to be at higher risk of narcissistic or histrionic disorders which is in the nature of things because they produce something that is evaluated by other people and reflected back either positively or negatively.
