I'm curious about how Gasda distinguishes genius and culture.
Is Gasda saying that genius could well, and probably does, exist on TikTok, but that our culture invariably means that this genius won't be discovered and appreciated? Or is he saying that our culture is such that it cannot even foster genius, that no genius can exist on TikTok…

To put it another way, I'm not sure if Gasda is arguing that there may be genius TikToks, but the culture lacks the capacity to recognize them as such OR if he is arguing that TikTok et al is destroying the ability of would-be geniuses (individual or collective) to produce works of artistic genius in the first place.
Is culture stuck because genius can no longer influence culture? Or is culture stuck because our culture no longer cultivates genius? I think that Gasda is saying the latter, but my hunch is that the former is a bigger issue.
