Friends,I don't know if it has a name — but there's a fetishisation of skills a young British aristocrat might have had in the 19th century. He might play an instrument. Watch theatre productions. Be a polyglot. Be extremely well travelled.And I think somewhere along the way, we decided that these pastimes were somehow better than others.I used to obsess over keeping my gadgets in pristine nick. But then I watched a video of Casey Neistat unboxing his brand new MacBook Pro and it really affected me. He wrestles it with a boxcutter, in the process scratching and dropping it.Everyone in the comment section kicks off, calling him an idiot. But he replies that a laptop is just a tool. He uses it to make films. It's nothing more than that. He then scratches his name into it.
