This is SO good

“We love the illusion of something springing into existence fully formed and perfect, but without contrivance or effort or work. We want production value without the production.”

I think about so many of these points all the time and I was even thinking to write a post along these lines but my post would’ve been so limited compared to this: this is so fleshed out and so insightful and so true and you have significantly expanded my thinking.

I think about your nepo baby points all the time actually. A lot of people shit on clairo for being a “nepo baby.” I think this kind of thing is so weird because like, a lot of the same people are often posting stuff about how what’s wrong with the “west” is individualism. But is the demand for someone to be perfect without assistance and without effort, simply as a result of their own inherent genius, not also a form of extreme individualism?
