I don’t know about you, but the trend of “all black everything” is starting to bore me. For example all black cars — it is a boring trend. Better to opt for more bold, vibrant and audacious colors!

  • I think it’s pretty obvious that philosophy is the future because ultimately… The AI will give us all the answers but it will not posit which questions to ask for the first place and whether it matters or not.
