This is assuming that everyone is vain, isn't it.
DFW passed away 12 years ago, quite a lot has changed since then, let alone people the pandemic social isolation due to Covid19.
- petemir 6y agoIf anything, I would say people (i.e. not everyone, just the major part of them) got more vain in the past 12 years...
- m12k 6y agoFor those of you who like me who don't immediately get the reference, DFW probably refers to the novelist David Foster Wallace - at least the 12 years reference fits: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DFW https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DFW

- ivanhoe 6y agoWell, it's not just a matter of vanity, showing up on a board meeting in your pajamas is still not a thing unfortunately. It's especially harsh on women because of all ridiculous social expectations. Even when others don't really care we're mentally condition to presume that world is expecting us to look in a certain way and that creates a lot of stress - plus it's a total waste of time if you work from home.
