Doing anything worthwhile is going to take effort and a significant portion of your time.

So why do we not talk about the engineers designing the space telescopes the same way you talk about an artist? The people working to produce a vaccine for Sars-Cov-2 as we speak? The people searching for Dark Matter? The people designing electric cars? The people designing faster and faster microchips? This stuff is way more intense, both intellectually and in terms of time, than making art.

So why is the 'artist' special? What makes you think creativity is somehow inherently different than other human efforts?
