iSTD

What is a model? Let’s take a fashion model for instance. What does that fashion model represent? A virus.

It is something that duplicates itself in the organism it lives off of. It spreads throughout that organism, and overcomes it.

The same equation between a virus and model stands for a role model. Shortly after WWII everyone in GB started calling their kids Winston, after the great war-time leader.

What ideas/images are we being influenced/infected by? The species breathes. It inhales history and exhales a similar by-product of it.

We have to be aware of the models that influence and infect our thoughts and perceptions. Then maybe we can start eliminating old viruses and come up with new frameworks of living and looking and feeling.

As a Facebook-exclusive amendment: Apple should come out with something called the iSTD for the latest device that simply influences our minds.

If you agree with what has been said in this note or others by me, please write a comment, and feel free to spread the virus of my ideas. i STD.
