In today's video, we will explain why the world is losing color and why society appears to be getting uglier. We will touch on the UK Science Museums study on "The Decolorization of society" and how it helps to map out the rise in a monochromatic world. We will talk about "Millennial home remodels" and how many modern trends in interior design and architecture favor gray minimalism. We will touch on modern rebrands that ditched the color and 3D whimsy of Frutiger Aero in favor of modern, sleek design. We will dive deep into the "McDonaldization of society" and how late capitalism affects culture. We will also touch on past trends in art, architecture, and philosophy, and how they mirror what we are currently going through.
