why you were attracted to this person at this age and not to that person at this age and what the actual considerations were that went on in your mind and what the calculations were, what's the likelihood that you're going to have a sustainable relationship with this person, that this person is not going to leave you for somebody else, how are your life trajectories are going to evolve and so on.
And when you're young, you're unable to explicate all this and you have to rely on intuitions and instincts that in part you were born with And also in the wisdom of your environment that is going to give you some kind of reflection on your choices.

And many of these things are disappearing now because we feel that our parents might have no idea about how we are living and the environments that we grew up in, the cultures that we grew up in, the milieus that our parents existed in might have no ability to teach us how to deal with this new world. And for many people, that's actually true.

But it doesn't mean that within one generation, we build something that is more magical and more sustainable and more beautiful. Instead, we often end up with an attempt to produce something that looks beautiful. I was very weirded out by the aesthetics of the Vision Pro headset by Apple. And not so much because I don't like the technology.

I'm very curious about what it's going to be like and don't have an opinion yet. But the aesthetics of the presentation and so on, they're so uncanny valley-esque to me. The characters being extremely plastic, living in some hypothetical mid-century furniture museum. Yeah.

Yes, but it was a CGI-generated world. It was a CGI-generated world that doesn't exist. And when I complained about this, some friends came back to me and said, but these are startup founders. This is what they live like in Silicon Valley. And I tried to tell them, no, I know lots of people in Silicon Valley. This is not what people are like. They're still people. They're still human beings.

And culture. And so basically what's absent in this thing is culture. There is a simulation of culture, an attempt to replace culture by catalog, by some kind of aesthetic optimization that is not the result of having a sustainable life, a sustainable human relationships with houses that work for you and a mode of living that works for you in which this product exists.

these glasses fit in naturally and I guess that's also why so many people are weirded out about the product because they don't know how is this actually going to fit into my life and into my human relationships because the way in which it was presented in these videos didn't seem to be credible.
