People say you have to travel to see the world. Sometimes I think that if you just stay in one place and keep your eyes open, you’re going to see just about all that you can handle. – Paul Auster
“People around the globe all use very similar methods of arithmetic, but there are an infinite number of potential aesthetics to be enjoyed, celebrated, and negated.” - W. David Marx
“Many of our values are stuck in the 20th century. We’re nearly sixty years from the debuts of The Beatles and Bob Dylan, and yet they still reign as definitional icons of our time. The speed, diversity, and fragmentation of the internet just doesn’t allow things to be ‘cool’ at that particular depth and scale anymore, which makes older generations feel like something is ‘wrong’. I suspect that Gen Z doesn’t have this problem and finds plenty of cultural value in participating in the endless, ephemeral stream of video content.
‘Cool’ has often been exclusionary and oppressive in its own way, but it did transform our culture by creating widespread appreciation of the incredible creativity existing within minority communities, working-class subcultures, and avant-garde artistic movements. We can certainly abandon ‘cool’ now, but we should find new ways to make sure artistic and stylistic innovations help refresh mainstream culture on a frequent basis.” W. David Marx
