Why do you talk about these things like you "can't." You obviously can. You made the post. Losing karma is engagement with your post. I would like to think the truly right-wing-- in it's best sense-- attitude would be an

I suppose I take for granted the interest in underground, counter-culture, Berlin-esque experiences. I genuinely cannot imagine someone preferring "Vegas-style" clubs in NYC. Your comment reads as what a Bushwick club kid thinks a

Rule of law also allows for banality of evil and bureaucratized, monopolized violence. I've seen some other arguments against sympathy in this thread (the murderer was wealthy himself, insurance companies aren't actually the archv

>Are you seriously arguing that art is doing more for the world at large than the IT industry? Come on... Yes? Art has been made for at least 17,000 years, it is a fundamental expression of human consciousness. This is like asking if sym

This is some kind of bizarre reflexive libertarian outburst to my comment that had little to do with the role of government. Firstly, lots and lots of people use government-engineer built apps. I pay for the products of government engineeri

Amount of art knowledge isn't subjective, it's a testable and verifiable metric. And the idea that all subjective tastes should be equally valued is a relatively recent invention from within the last generation or so that isn&#x27

>I simply made an appreciation and then explained how I got to it. It was never meant to be convincing, it was just meant to be out there… WHY am I wrong in approaching the subject in this manner? You’re asking me to justify to you why o

Would you stand in front an astrophysicist PhD and tell them their degree is worthless because you can’t see dark matter and supersymmetry? Would you stand in front of an archaeology PhD and tell them their degree is worthless because you c

You seem to really have very little education, perspective, and experience regarding art. When you have very little education, perspective, and experience, your opinions are irrelevant and it frustrates people to see someone so content (and

Joke or not, you're still demonstrating that you're naive about the scope of brand strategy. The majority of brand management work is not material that is shown to the public, it is strategic decision making about how to position

Thinking that TV spots are the limits of brand strategy is just kind of naive. You think iPhones are a superior product... Why? Other phones have more RAM, better screens, more capable OS. An iPhone is designed in response to market demands

Charismatic founders are PR lol. Steve Jobs was a market strategist. >To be tech was to stand against the corporate types who milked people for money without offering real value. Positioning yourself as punk, as pro-consumer, as an alt

Marketers necessarily sell something that doesn't exist because part of their job is creating that thing. Theranos is an example of a failed project through and through, but even something unarguably successful like the iPhone was buil

Sort of a vapid piece. The optimism and buy-in that excited people about tech from the debut of the iPhone until fairly recently was a function of PR and technology marketers-- like the author-- doing their jobs very well. For any industry,

i think papers like this reveal the benefits of domain-specific methodologies. a scientific paper is a bad choice for historiography. art historical texts are usually much more concerned with close reading of artworks to establish syncretic
