The decline of beauty in everyday life shows up in even the smallest things, like tickets, where we’ve let our obsession with efficiency win out over personality and artistic expression.
Like the ticket from the Guggenheim Museum in New York, which I've shared in the first photo. It's an iconic building that could have so easily inspired a beautiful ticket design, but they opted for the most economical option instead.
Each example of this decline isn't a big deal, but the world becomes less charming and enchanted when people stop caring about craftsmanship.
For some alternatives, scroll through the photos. The second one shows old Japanese train tickets, the third one shows an old circus ticket, and the fourth one is a World Series ticket from 2002, which felt magical when I got to hold one as an eight-year-old.
So yes, there’s definitely been a decline. And maybe we’re okay with it! But it’s worth remembering that this decline isn’t inevitable. There is another way.

i am the consumer and i dont want to watch movies at home
Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos said the current state of the box office is a sign that people want to "watch movies at home"
"What is the consumer trying to tell us? That they’d like to watch movies at home, thank you. The studios and the theaters are duking it out over trying to preserve this 45-day window that is completely out of step with the consumer experience of just loving a movie."

me if Guillermo del Toro ever makes this movie
Guillermo del Toro says he would be interested in doing a new ‘PHANTOM OF THE OPERA’ film
“It’s such a classic tale but I would do it differently. I have a couple of ideas but for now, I’m going into crime and stop-motion”
