The golden mean

Plato has a lot to answer for. The elusive notion of the archetype. AI generated art has this quality of superficial coherence which dissolves upon closer inspection. Apparently Lee integral three-dimensional structures become impossible comma floating in in some hyper dimensional, gravity defying, alternative space time that can only be explained as the uncomprehending, flat, and narrow sized output of an algorithm.

So it is with all archetypes. We think we know what we mean comma but the reality is disappointing full stop the experience you get when you try to Google for an archetypal image and can't quite find anything that entirely fits the bill. The famous story of the average dimensioned pilot designed into US fighter pilot cockpits comma into which no pilot fitted. Our tendency to passionately argue at straw men. Our conclusion drawn from average comparisons that individuals of a given category are disadvantaged.
