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

But that being said, I think the modern day and age that we live in, the Big Other - in its old definition -- feels monolithic, antiquated in retrospect. In many ways - its the reason that "The Rhizome" was such an interesting idea (by Deleuze and Guattari) where pre-blockchain / everything, they really explored how an alternative mode of organization of things, something dynamic, changing, decentralized, and open-ended and could exist as a sort of antithesis to the ever increasing centralized mode of power / old world bureacracy. 

In many ways I think they were able to see the old arborescent hierarchical structure, as being replaced by this many incandescent, different, decentralized ways of organizing things (both physical and digital) which we've seen with the rise of the internet, and the way that we share information in the world today

This Lacanian Big Other, has, duplicated too, and in Deluzian terms, become 'rhizomatic' - yet we are almost still stuck in thinking its monolithic

Modern day Big Other is outdated, decentralized structures offer alternative. Internet sharing info shows shift. Lacanian influence still felt
