I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland. And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

Yes. It is a maddening aspect of human psychology. System justification theory attempts to explain this, and I think does a good job. (If you have a frustration with people, I have a paper. sorry. It's my toxic trait.) Anyone interested in system change should read:
