The Decline of Deviance

Really enjoyed this article. I definitely feel the same about influencers on instagram all sounding the same, new buildings all looking the same, the devastating fact that people are picking grey/white/black over colors. Let’s get weird please.

Some of my favorite excerpts:

“Everything’s gotta last: your joints, your skin, and most importantly, your reputation. That makes it way less enticing to screw around, lest you screw up the rest of your time on Earth.

(“What is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” Make sure I stand up from my desk chair every 20-30 minutes!)”

“Imagine how you differently you might live if you thought you were going to die at 65 rather than 95.”

“If we want a more interesting future, if we want art that excites us and science that enlightens us, then we’ll have to tolerate a few illegal holes in the basement, and somebody will have to be brave enough to climb down into them.”
