Does being an amazing artist make you smarter in any way? What advantages would the heightened visual intelligence offer you in day to day life? Do you possess the ability to solve complex puzzles and riddles because of your spatial intelligence? Can you become a better fighter because you can 'read' your opponents muscular movements and predict their strategies? Can you read into the random patterns of fallen leaves, bubbling streams, thundering clouds, and squawking birds, and reason out a divine meaning? Maybe if you draw enough, your vision will be sharp enough to see God himself.

What's the point of getting better at drawing, if all you become is a better artist? Why do you get no other advantages? What a shit hand we were dealt.
