When I see people say there is a shortage of eggs on the shelves in supermarkets in Taiwan, or they show a photo of a cozy little window scene of a room w many organised cd, vintage vinyle records and home made indigo curtains, with some sun light coming through from the outside suggesting that there is a ground level garden, all this reminds me of a certain Secondlife sim. These settings and conditions have to do with a nostalgic 80s ambiance. Are the photos or words v well written, graphically aesthetically "right" ? No. Just the whole thing put together, it has the right sense of smell and time. My home never looked like this, nor have I lived through a lack of eggs on the shelf days, but just to be in the space for awhile, even in Secondlife, transports you to a slowness, a stability, a warmth that has nothing to do with vaste arrays of choices for the everyday for the anything, that is very rare today
Most interesting part is the Bonus, 25:36, when people get older they become cleptomaniacs (!) this doesnt mean they have suddenly converted themselves to thieving, it means they have a lost of impulse control... etc, cant control themselves, they go on automatic, they cannot evaluate when not to do certain things. They skinny flint you its because that is the way their habitual way to do "business", you are the target of their business, you are not working towards a goal together. They skinny flint you, its a power game that they have played all their lives. I understand this might be one of the reasons why they do what they do, what makes them tick, so to speak.
