Just Gotta Ask: How Stupid Are We? What actually bothers me is the fact that people no longer trust their own senses, just mindless Internet hype. We know a £1450 steak is patently ridiculous, and yet, here we are. The bill itself becomes a part of the performance art, a status symbol like having Salt Bae himself himself gyrating at your table with his S&M gloves, black teashades, and manchovies on full display in tight trousers. It’s the exclusivity of Studio 45 all over again, a capitalist cautionary tale meant to scare the FOMO right out of you. But the question is: are you smart enough to know you’re being had?
How stupid are we? Good Lord, but we are apparently just THAT stupid. This reminds me of the old joke about cocaine- it's God's way of telling you that you have to damned much money.

Right? John had a minor flirtation with cocaine a million years ago. It makes me wince every time he tells how much money he wasted, poor bear.
I loved this piece! Humans can be pathetic creatures, can't we?
Why can't we evolve faster?
I know of only one couple with the kind of money where they could dine there. And honestly, I'm not altogether sure they've the brains NOT to.
Do they wear Balenciaga? I'm doing a survey ;-)
The pictures I saw look way to "hip" for them.

We book nerds rarely have a sense for these things. A friend of mine recently had to clue me into the hidden social hierarchy of handbags.
