PART 1
Original quote 1: Your convoluted explanation that “all possible artwork already exists somewhere in the quantum multiverse”.
Revised quote: You might even try to justify your beliefs through a quotation of Brian Tomask found in one of Rhys Southan’s essays; “all possible artwork already exists somewhere in the quantum multiverse“.
Original quote 2: Zanner is clearly well educated and passionate about conducting music, extolling the virtues of ‘one-buttock playing’ to the audience. “I was working with this young pianist, and said…’The trouble with you is you’re a two-buttock player. You should be a one-buttock player.’ I moved his body while he was playing. And suddenly, the music took off. It took flight.”
Revised quote 2: Zander is clearly well educated and passionate about conducting music, extolling the virtues of ‘one-buttock playing’ to the audience, based on an anecdote he tells the audience of his TED talk. “I was working with this young pianist, and said…’The trouble with you is you’re a two-buttock player. You should be a one-buttock player.’ I moved his body while he was playing. And suddenly, the music took off. It took flight.”

PART 2
Original quote: In the middle of his essay on Effective Altruism, Rhys Southan offers what he feels is a an ironclad “…simple test to determine if you’re creating art for yourself or for the world. If you discovered that someone else had independently come up with a project idea that you’d also had, but they produced and distributed their work first, would you be upset? Or would you be thrilled that this vitally important stuff was out there, altering perspectives and making everything better in a real, quantifiable way – even though it wouldn’t increase your social status?
Revised quote: As Rhys Southan makes clear in his essay, many Effective Altriusts feel that artists are inherently selfish, and these artists create art to stroke their egos. To add to this introspection, Southan asks the reader “ If you discovered that someone else had independently come up with a project idea that you’d also had, but they produced and distributed their work first, would you be upset? Or would you be thrilled that this vitally important stuff was out there, altering perspectives and making everything better in a real, quantifiable way – even though it wouldn’t increase your social status?“
