my favorite concept discussed is how we don't recognize things until we are separated form them.

An example used is spit. We can swallow our own spit because IT'S US, nut if we were to spit into a cup all day, we couldn't bring ourselves to drink it, because it has been detached from us to the point that we recognize it.

This concept is then applied to technology and find myself noticing it manifest in popular culture, fashion, and many other aspects of life.

it is insightful

apply it to vaporwave

We never found the aesthetic appealing until it was far enough removed from our current culture that we could recognize it as unique.

but I guess not thinking is the way of the future
