State of Epicicity
Fractal Fanatic
@la noise Your idea about cultural decline in general hits me hard. I've felt that way for a long time, and I wonder about historical analogies to our culture as it exists today. My wife was telling me about Jeff Bezos having an ancient bridge taken apart so he could cross his superyacht somewhere in Europe, at the same time Amazon, after boasting record profits during the pandemic, announced that they'll be raising the price of Prime membership due to the costs of the pandemic. Maybe it's just me. I still get infuriated at having to sit through commercials at a movie theater. I thought avoiding commercials was part of the reason we'd pay more to be there?
