I agree that it is a strange topic for someone like me who doesn’t care about all this fashion stuff, but clearly millions of people do, and their addiction is choking our landfills. If this idea can help alleviate even a fraction of that horrible waste, I guess I’m for it and am glad I learned about it in this talk. What a strange world.
@LabelsAreMeaningless

If she’d spent any time actually thinking through her ideas, she wouldn’t have done this talk. It’s so incredibly short sighted and naive; and the path it leads down is shockingly harmful.

Digitally try before you buy for online shopping seems a good idea to me. And perhaps the shop can throw in a garment for the avatar of the buyer as well.

This woman is silly. Virtual items will not and can not replace material goods. You can not wear a digital shirt when you walk to the grocery store, go to work, go to a party or gathering. They have no effect on eachother (digital goods/material goods) the only way in which they effect eachother is if you blow your money on one you can’t afford the other as well. What does she expect? People to suddenly all be walking around in matching white jumpers and only distinguishing themselves online? That will not happen unless corrupt authoritarian governments force it. If we get too that point then it will be worse than any dystopian novel ever written. People should always have the right to chose their own wardrobe. They should have the right to make ‘stupid’ purchases regardless of if another person says it’s stupid.
I remember when TED would often have thought provoking and well thought out talks, but it’s been a long time since that’s been a thing. Now it’s people who try and sound intelligent while abandoning logic or big picture thinking. They have little depth to their views and often it cloaks a very strong desire for conformity, and pushing their desires onto other people without the say of those people.

Ted talks getting worse and worse. Get ready for your digital prisons! Citizen Score/CBDCs will be able to control weather or not you have access to the society and the internet. Have fun trying to do anything if we lose power/internet connection. I highly advise having physical books, cds, etc for anything you truly value. They want you to have nothing, so they will have it all and be able to control you like a slave. WAKE UP

Yes but it is not ok to treat a construction of lies as good for humanity as a whole. People accepting the fact you have to buy something you can’t own as inovative and progressive is absolutely insane. Capitalist propaganda has really messed up the thinking of some people.
@user-qi7xx5ih6z
March 1, 2024 at 11:51 am
Let me get this straight. Artificial scarcity achieved trough intellectual property laws inflates the price of digital products by creating social value for the “owner” and that’s good for society? So a legal fiction + a market fiction + a social fiction = prosperity? If you believe that my friend the nigerian prince has a great investment oppotunity for you.

This is the most silly thing people are into lately. Ignoring the real and going virtual. I get the tech is to be blamed. What ever silly and stupid is to spend so much on virtual things, and designer brands have the perfect products here, as they always make things that are mostly not practical. Including the pricing which is not practical. Where is this world going????

How do we deal with sizes and color? I love the idea of producing too much but the fit is very important.

Agree, right now the tech is more suitable to give the potential buyer an idea of the feel of the style than fit – but fit will be solved soon I anticipate. Do you mean size and colour of people or the garments?
