There's another one they did with Yuja Wang which is too funny. "Aren't there enough Chinese pianists in the world?" (No racism intended. Inside joke. Better take it outside!)
I have a friend, about my age, who is one of the preliminary judges for the Van Clyburn. And I asked her about Wang's (pronounced Wong) dressing like that. She said she wished she'd cover up more, but that she is a true artist. I thought it was a scam at first, but after listening to her, it's not.
A lot of that goes on in the violin world: gorgeous, provocatively dressed young women whose playing is about on the level of a good grad school recital. Not world class, but a career based on careful promotion rather than talent.

I'd be interested to know the correlation between conspiracy theorism and theism.
I'd be interested to know the correlation between conspiracy theorism and theism.
I don't know that it has ever been studied, but the fervor and passion with which the typical conspiracy theorist presents his or her case, might be a substitute for religion.
I suspect that if somehow or other, all religion was vanquished from the planet, most of the formerly religious would wind up being equally stupid about something else.
