ALL OLD STUFF IS BAD?

Everywhere I look, everyone is seeking some sort of retro thing. But maybe this is all a bad strategies; to use the pass as an analogy for the future is a degeneration.

Rather, the more virtuous better strategy at hand is instead, to open arm hold and embrace the current, the present, the future. The general idea is instead, we have to think a modern, we have to think car wash, think classic, an ancient values, but perhaps modern day designs and approaches.

For example, I see all these people these really really old modified Integras, and I recall, back in the day, when I wanted a car like that. Now I look at these cars wow, they just seem and look stupid to me.

 so the first thought is actually, seeking some sort of past design, some sort of past thing, is a positively bad thing. Why? When you are too stuck in the past, you cannot start carte blanche, blank slate considering the future.

Even looking at houses and homes, the number one issue is that all these houses… Why are they so damn old? Literally built in the 20s, 50s, maybe 70s? I’ve never seen a house being sold on the market, it wouldn’t the construction was in the 90s, 2000s, or even 2020s?

This is where housing and houses in the housing market seems like such a scam; come on… It is year 2024, we are living so future, why are we still stuck in these old ass analogies of the past? Why not embrace the present and the future?
