Things I would write if I had the discipline:

• A cultural-philosophical history of artifice, from the Ancient Greek concept of ‘mētis’ (craft/cunning) to Baroque illusionism to AI slop
• An analysis of the aesthetics that technology companies have used to form their self-image and legitimise their ambitions since the 1980s
• A defence of the still image
• A game theory of style and its evolution
• A coffee table book about the great aesthetes of modern history

Art people are worse than tech people. Nobody is worse than art and technology people.
