- bluepizza 3y agoThese role playing dynamics are not very interesting for anyone who is not willing to participate in the game. Everyone has their dreams, aspirations, and fantasies.

Everyone is just another market niche. Protect your wallet, don't take lifestyle marketing seriously.
- vinceguidry 3y agoThis article was intensely interesting to me, and I'm not willing to participate in it. I would have liked a treatment on the other two types of aesthetics mentioned, old money aesthetics and tech money aesthetics. Author is so aware of the fact that this is just another market niche, they've written an article deconstructing that niche. You're simply having a reaction. Taking it seriously shouldn't be threatening.

The problem is intractable.
