"the look of functional objects: well designed packages, exemplifying - stand in for - its protestant ethic, morality. Packages as stripped minimalist looks meant, through fetishistic “functional” design of today’s REI or Muji, to impress functionality as a nebulous holisticness.

So when you stand with your head in a bag with a stranger or docent, the bitterness of its awkwardness is understood as medicinal, good for you."
