Vacation brain is awesome. All I did was eat and drink and walk around and not deny myself anything so my brain is like “wow great town. I should move here. It would probably be like this every day”
i don’t agree with this mindset but it is the mindset that i want my public intellectuals to have. that’s what they’re here for. they spout some overly educated take that is slightly too extreme so that we can say, “that’s a little much… but i get your point.”
dubai feels like it was built by banksy, a slightly too on the nose satire of marketing and capitalism. a holiday destination for people who have been kicked in the head by a horse.
