Good conceptual art should be like a PoC exploit for what people percieve as real. Either it prompts us to patch our beliefs with concrete experience, or we just accumulate intellectual debt that eventually makes us unable to grow, respond, or cope, and become utterly dependent on surrounding ourselves with people who preserve our fictions for us and we'll give them anything to just reassure us of the safety of our compliance.

This one isn't a wormable meme, but it exposes a glimpse of the cultural substrate and challenges our ability to sustain dissonance.
