<p>Good for you. Your personal preferences in choosing a mate and the “intrinsic value” of studying a subject do not make it a useful/practical minor though. Not to mention that studying music =/= being able to sing, and studying literature =/= being able to compose poetry. </p>
<p>Why do you think the arts have “intrinsic good” at all? You say that you don’t care about what the upper class does (or has done historically) yet you subscribe to notions coined by those very same people.</p>
