> not everything we do needs to be optimised That reminds me of the Japanese craft of kintsugi, where broken/damaged everyday household objects honored and elevated above their station via repairs with gold inlay. It’s finding perfection in the mundane, leaving something undone, just so. Very Japanese vibe. Some things are better off left broken in view of being later restored, rather than being discarded and instantly replaced with nondescript sameness. Newness itself isn’t bad, but it is alluring; and yet, we can’t leave our culture by the wayside. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kintsugi https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kintsugi
