My general rule is to avoid anything that's overly-optimized for predictable consumption. And I like being a consumer! I like playing status games! I just avoid the cookie-cutter ones because they're less fun + you can't really win big. There's always more fun stuff next doorhttps://twitter.com/meredithdclark/status/1046395155929067520 …

If it really, truly, absolutely the most fun thing you can imagine doing with your time and money, then ok, godspeed to you but I bet you can do better I bet you could have more fun digging through your old photos, taking a random bus or train, seriously, anything

(aside: I once amused myself at a da vinci exhibit by taking photos of people who were taking photos of the notes on display (which are all available online). I hope to exhibit these pictures in my own exhibit someday and I hope people take pics of them)https://twitter.com/visakanv/status/1014382390163042304 …

I think it's important for us to learn how to amuse ourselves. chase our own curiosity, scratch our own itches. being fiercely independent on this front makes life a lot more fun, naughty, irreverent, + we waste less time & $$ in the queue to purchase what marketers chose for uspic.twitter.com/oaXLRQ3KRE

sad thing is that kids are naturally good at this and we beat it out of them then they get trained to follow instructions, which is of course what marketers love. pay your $45 here, take your selfies in these preselected environments, thank you for *supporting the cause*!

again to clarify I'm not saying some rebellious punk woke shit like "oh stick it to the man" or "we are the slaves to the instagrams and the capitalisms amirite" I just mean we could all take a couple of minutes to choose slightly more fun games to play. right?pic.twitter.com/5LcoZRapX7

The marketer in me IS wondering "well visa how about *you* design an experience room, huh? what would you make?" I'd make a Hall Of Horrible Experiences. Nihilism-themed Immersive Art Pop-Up. A boss yelling at you. A funeral with hired mourners. A dirty, messy room. etcpic.twitter.com/oSZIuCCtX0
