Do people still recognize old lazyrefs like motorcycle maintenance for pirsigging? Or is it a wtf non sequitur to the Young People™ Wish there was an intelligent tweet editor that said things like “this reference is very dated, all the people who would get it are nearly dead”

Young designer tweeted covers of some medical reports from 1967 yesterday. "How stunningly original!" No, pretty standard examples of Op Art, probably influenced by Responsive Eye show (1965). This is a would-be *designer*. Education counts. Be one of the 'haves' in info economy

There's so much amazing writing that is locked behind outdated references, would be a cool project to go to things like McLuhans The Extensions of Man and either add context or update all the pop culture references used.
