Fair play. There's a quiet truth to what you're saying, and it's worth pointing out

Never say never. People are paying through the nose for a pair of JNCOs these days.

> But if I went to a “high end” place with an AI menu and instagram decor - bad, bad sign.

Sometimes I wonder if this will settle into its own form of kitsch over the years, and whether people will someday try to emulate it (with a wink and a nod).

Explain this a bit. I'm interested, but I don't fully understand how you mean this.

Not saying this is what you're doing, but I find requiring someone to solve a problem immediately after sharing it can (ironically) stifle finding a solution. The act of identifying and the act of solving rarely happen all in one motion, and often the first step to solving a problem is to establish its validity among peers so meaningful solutions can arise.

And as a follow-up, Lewis Mumford, Technics and Civilization.

Where McLuhan argues technologies shape worldviews, Mumford argues worldviews also shape technologies.

And then perhaps into the world of science and technology studies (STS), where these questions are explored more deeply, and specific cases are examined.

Unless you're reading at the top of the screen (i.e. on a phone), scroll up to recap on something you missed, and then the header slides in and covers the exact thing you were trying to read.

Bonus points if the header is absolutely massive and takes up a full fifth of the innerHeight.

> It's not that polls are imperfect, it's that they're often entirely misleading and incorrect.

Can you point to the source of your argument? Furthermore -- can you point out how this particular poll is one of the misleading and incorrect ones?
