Another thing Kubler talks about is this idea of "Aesthetic Fatigue" - which is an intuitive idea, but nice to have a name to it -- sort of like how societies, cultures, individuals etc, the mob, if you will, experiences this sense of tiredness or saturation, with certain forms and/or patterns of expression over time, and people just get tired of it

This "aesthetic fatigue" can lead to the obsolescence of those forms as they lose their appeal and meaning - which I think it interesting because then this is how we end up with this need, or desire, for new things, for newer pastures, there is no stopping, only the next thing and the next thing - which sounds tiring, but I think that's taking a simplistic view

In a weird way, it reminds me of the Lacanian Big Other that, symbolic meaning subjectively woven into the fabric of our society (law, politics, language, culture etc) as it exists from our limited subjective view of it - and I think it's interesting to see that, we arrive, generally around the same time to this aesthetic fatigue, usually. In other words, the Big Other, has a sort of sense of order in timing, the shifting of times, even though we are all peering at the Big Other through our own individual windows
