The dark sides of our #civilization
A lion lay sated on the savannah watching the sun set. An economist came by and asked the lion why he wasn't working. The lion replied that he would normally eat economists for dessert, but at the moment he was full. This would also be the reason why he rests here, because there would be nothing more to do than to enjoy life with a full stomach.
The economist explained that there are 3 hours left until sunset. If the lion would hold on, he could still hunt 3 to 4 antelopes. After that he would have a food supply and could rest much longer and enjoy life.
The lion thought to himself, I can try that. After he had even killed 5 antelopes in the end, the economist sold him a freezer to store the antelopes. After that, of course, he still needed an electricity contract and a house to put the freezer in. Before the lion knew it, he was working from 8 in the morning until late in the evening to hunt antelope, because now he had to pay off the loan for the house and the electricity for the freezer. He could rest only for a short time on weekends.

How #SiliconValley helps spread the same sterile aesthetic across the world

We could call this strange #geography created by #technology "AirSpace." Itβs the realm of coffee shops, bars, #startup offices, and co-live / #work spaces that share the same hallmarks everywhere you go: a profusion of #symbols of comfort and quality, at least to a certain connoisseurial #mindset. Minimalist #furniture. Craft beer and avocado toast. Reclaimed wood. Industrial lighting. Cortados. Fast #internet.
...
This confluence of #style is being accelerated by companies that foster a sense of placelessness, using technology to break down geography. #Airbnb is a prominent example. Even as it markets unique places as consumable goods, it helps its users travel without actually having to change their environment, or leave the warm embrace of AirSpace.
