PL 18 perfect. Thank you, Tracy! Yes, not the most readable part of the book. The tongue twisting level actually varies quite a bit between chapters, as you most likely noticed already. Not perhaps the politically most correct views in this. This dates to the first hooray of social darwinism, which ...

ok, thank you Leni, that seems right. I'll take a listen later today along with Tracy's file.

PL 7 & 8, beautifully read by Anna. Thank you.

PL 15 perfect. Thank you Morgan!

Besides, I think Veblen at some point in this states that he is merely describing his law of conspicuous consumption. So maybe he is not on the mission of destroying everything aesthetic... But Ruskin got a couple of extra remarks, that's for sure.

Let the bare minimum suffice for the spiritual among us, I want adornment. :lol: That's a good one. In a sense you are right, yes. I also find that at least in everyday utensils the modern design seems to lean more on usability rather than the decoration part. It is a trend of architecture as well:...

PL 14 - Thank you Morgan. There's on repeat at 13:10 - you first read lead and then correct as lend. As a sidenote, whatever might be said of this book otherwise, the notion that we are basically paying for wasted labour when we pay for design - and the more wasted labour, the better the product - i...

Hi I can certainly fix those two things. Anything else? Once I make the revisions, what do I do about the file names? Let me know if I should use the exact file names as I did originally or if I should name them something else. Tracy Hi Tracy! Just use the exact same file names as before, the serve...
