All designed objects are propaganda for a certain way of life.
Sometimes we need to stop analysing the past, stop planning the future, stop figuring out precisely how we feel, stop deciding exactly what we want, and just see what happens.

No science would be involved and it is the most open secret imaginable with flats rented for that very purpose year, after year, after year and the whole thing giggled [
