I am confused as to what this sort of revisionism is intended to accomplish. Quite a lot of people very obviously thought that, man. People have been coming here for a reason. There's a reason there's a giant statue of Bill Clinton in Kosovo; we didn't put it there.

Great essay by Virginia on on the lost glamour of progress. Very interested in her thoughts on what could make the future seem glamorous again—we need a futurism that responds to people’s present longing for the physically real and authentic human connection.
