Really interesting read on cultural stagnation in the US. Perhaps the most compelling observation is that style companies today have a bizarre set of incentives. On the one hand they must produce constant novelty to drive consumption and growth. On the other, they must keep things predictable and constant enough that they don’t have to deal with fundamental re-invention and the risk of becoming suddenly and dramatically irrelevant.
