Finally got to this article, Kadri, thanks. Its very interesting and gives lots to think on.
I remember a topic from an anthropology class, that I often think about when I am looking at art on line. We were told in that class, that the idea of looking at a photo is very alien to many people in the world even now. That you cannot have never seen a photo or image before and then when seeing one, expect to understand what you are seeing. That class was the first time I thought about the fact that I had to learn to see art, I mean literally learn to see it at all, not understand content.
your link just added so much more to that for me. Not even counting the moral philosophical implications, considering that the one man died of depression, basically.
It makes sense though? Imagine going from a technologically primitive society to a technologically advanced society over night. Or from extreme poverty to extreme wealth as with many lottery winners - I have read that there are similar results for many lottery winner as with the people mentioned in your link.
