i don't even know how to describe what i'm trying to ask so i can't really google it but maybe you bros can help mei'm looking for works written about the entire phenomenon of how people come up with the consensus for an "ideal state" of a technology, as in there seems to be a sort of generally agreed upon golden age for every major technology that exists, like video games from 20-30 years ago or cars from the same era, for examplei'd like to know if anyone has written anything serious about it
YOU ALL NEED TO STOP USING WORDS THE MEANING OF WHICH YOU IGNORE.YOU MEAN «OPTIMAL», NOT «IDEAL».
>>24958415to be honest, i'm not even sure which word to even use because it's a mystery to me
>>24958447I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN, BUT I DO NOT KNOW OF ANY STUDIES ON THAT VERY SPECIFIC SUBJECT.THERE IS A THEORY OF ÆSTHETICS THAT POSES THAT ANY ARTISTIC MOVEMENT CONSOLIDATES INTO AN EPOCH WITH THREE DISTINCT SUCCESSIVE PHASES: ARCHAIC, CLASSICAL, BAROQUE; THIS THEORY IS APPLICABLE TO EVERYTHING, REALLY.NOSTALGIA FOR A SPECIFIC PERIOD IS, OFTEN, TOWARD THE CLASSICAL PHASE OF A GIVEN EPOCH, OR HISTORICAL CONTINVVM; THE PHASE AT WHICH THE RUDIMENTS HAVE BEEN OVERCOME, THE CONVENTIONS SET, AND, THE TECHNIQUES, PERFECTED, BUT BEFORE SOPHISTICATION LEADS TO FORMAL TRANSGRESSIONS, AND TECHNICAL LUDISM.IT IS IDIOTIC; NOSTALGIA KILLS; APART FROM THAT, CLASSICISM MAY BE THE PHASE OF PERFECTION, BUT BAROQUISM IS THE PHASE OF OPTIMALITY; THE PHASE AT WHICH MASTERY IS TOTAL, ALLOWING FOR FORMAL PLASTICITY.
