[FRIAM] paraphilia (was The metaphor in the room)

[Marcus Daniels]

<The tech bros are analogous to the "looksmaxers". And it all falls under the concept of the cargo cult, where people confuse the incidentals or the aesthetic with the underlying mechanisms. I also sometimes call them "formalists", people obsessed with the form to the detriment of the function.>

Mathematicians, some economists..? Just a longer game, sometimes facilitated by institutions..
