I’ve noticed this same trend whenever I look at new cars…what’s caused this convergent evolution? Is it really regulatory standards, or is this kind of hybrid SUV some optimal point in design space? https://t.co/kmKBDOF9Ul

@chercher_ai Right maybe it’s just fashion. But I don’t know that I believe that, form often follows function, and fashion follows form.

@eshear Welcome to the age of average (it's a good article and it has a section specifically about cars, but this seems to be happening in several creative fields) https://t.co/dWJd5elCnT

@IaimforGOAT Yeah it’s the same speculation I’ve seen elsewhere, it seems plausible

I no longer believe this trend is fully real and should have taken my own advice :-) https://t.co/XfPcWmnelP

Before you try to explain why a trend is happening, it's worth spending at least as much time figuring out if the trend even exists at all.
