What a trip that in the future the most coveted jewelry will probably be from materials found on other planets (assuming we haven't gotten over this jewelry thing).

- jey 9y agoDiamonds are bullshit, but body adornment is a human universal that exists in all cultures. So the diamond bullshit is hijacking something very real and human.
- bananatron 9y agoYou're totally right, but there are also a lot of 'real' and 'human/animal' traditions that we've collectively decided aren't worth continuing. I'd argue this should be one of them, but I'm not bullish on my preference vs. diamond advertising budget and a culture of perpetual consumerism.
