And doing things because chicks dig it is what has fueled all progress in the world - for better of worse (by men). Don't underestimate the power of being impressive.

Had Van Gogh not been seen what he did would not have mattered. Van Gogh wasn't in it (just) for himself and the thrill of painting. He viewed himseld as a failure because of his lack of succes. If he were able to see the impact upon us all he would not have been so misserible and tormented into suicide (maybe).
