This is manufactured surrealism that the late writer Phillip K Dick would be proud of, in a superficial posthumous way, as mass marketing, digitized networks and the unreal all fused to offer a simulated version of reality.  That, even in this divisiveness of academia and philosophical discorded tedium, factious viewpoints begin to fade almost overnight.  As at the end of the day, via the digitized and rapid pace of marketing information, the impression of society and its preconceived value systems, begin to hold very little meaning.  Scathing opinions based and/or polarized reality and the opposing sides have offered no reprieve.  As we become more and more simulated and contrived in the flux of regurgitation data.  It has now moved beyond the points of relevance.   

I will not mention the name of a fictional CGI model, that has be born of the reality of social media except that Lorenzo Serafini of the Italian brand Philosophy, has utilized the bizarre (although I don't feel it was intentional) figurine to assist selling the throw away 90s rehash.  With all its desperation of late 90s and early 2000 sex appeal, that became a fixation in the early stages of the internet, to be overthrown (briefly) by so called left wing sensibilities in all its hashtag glory, only to reappear again as a fumbled backlash.   With one confusion after another being layered over chaotic manifolds, opinions and statements of social changes occur now in real time, building and collapsing in quick succession.  History, inside the machine has now malfunctioned.  Actually quite fascinating to observe.
