“Am I paying my biggest hater?” is a constant, prevailing and exhausting word problem to have to wrestle with before every purchase big or small.

Briefly going to use this as a jumping off point to talk about art! There's a concept in art history called kunstwollen or "will to art" introduced by Alois Riegel, who was a late 19th century Austrian art historian. It is often used to explain why certain motifs appear at certain times in history.
As part of this, I think it is also useful to emphasise that Henry Ford was a big fan of Hitler. Big technology has always been a close ally of authoritarianism, as we are witnessing in our own times, & that point needs to be made more frequently.

Contrary to its title, 'The Artist Looks at Nature,' (1943) Charles Sheeler's painting depicts himself seated at an easel, ignoring the brightly lit landscape around him. The drawing that he's working on is based on one of his own photographs from 1937.
