    I didn’t really get this either.

    I did think the final paragraph was notable, a “zeitgeist of our times” if you will:

    The absurdity of the situation prompted tech author and journalist James Vincent to write on X, “current tech trends are resistant to satire precisely because they satirize themselves. a car park of empty cars, honking at one another, nudging back and forth to drop off nobody, is a perfect image of tech serving its own prerogatives rather than humanity’s.”

        Zeitgeist could refer to the past though.

        Nirvana was part of the zeitgeist of the 90s.
