I was talking to a friend i havent seen since 2010. It was weird, we spoke about what we did back then and concluded that in some ways, very little had changed.
The world has become more dystopian and polarised, but culture, technology, music, fashion, have barely moved.
If you imagine having this conversation in 1995, and going back 15 years to 1980, everything was completely different, there's a huge cultural and technical change between those years.
So what happened? Why have we stagnated? What was previously exciting change has become dull, and new advances in tech just feel designed to ensnare and surveil you evermore.
Its sad really.
