things that are too ‘useful’… well, i don’t entirely trust them. i kind of like useless things. for instance— and this is a pretty facile and simplified metaphor here— art is useless, and nazis made lots of useful things. i like dumb meandering things that make me happy and confused, and don’t particularly like ‘effective marketing tools designed for maximum accurate data capture’ blah blah blah. it all sounds so sad and functional. i don’t like the idea of people sitting in a room talking about the best way to word things to get the right reaction from a base of ‘users’ etc. i don’t like thinking that those people used to love to do something, or wanted to be something, and would up measuring the best way to manipulate other people.
