History and capitalism were dating. History was seeing other people, so capitalism really tried to look like the best of all possible worlds. Then they got married, and capitalism stopped trying so hard. And then history said, “Remember my vow, ’til death do us part? Well, do you think I was kidding, or not?

Let’s Talk About the Louis Vuitton Heist

We’re all familiar with Louis Vuitton. Despite its luxury status, the brand is everywhere. If you haven’t heard the name dropped on a hip hop track, then certainly you’ve seen the signature LV monogram on passing handbags. The authenticity of the bag

For most people, Louis Vuitton is an untouchable entity. The price of one of their iconic monogram handbags is comparable to the average monthly rent for a studio apartment in San Francisco. Louis Vuitton carries prestige precisely because it is not attainable for the majority of the population. When Louis Vuitton is robbed, the illusion of its unattainability falters. Its elusive brand finds new hands.

I want to see a movie where the aliens come not to invade or teach us but to persuade us to collaborate on their performance art.

The down side of being an academic gadfly who made no major contribution to any one field, just minor ones to several, is that u then get asked to do stuff for every single one of them.
