“Follies” by Rory Fraser

In case you are wondering about that word you may have seen pop up here or there… Yes, we admit that “folliness” is not a real word. But it was needed. So we made it up. There is of course the word “folly”, which exists already, but it only describes architectural follies. So it didn’t work for any folly-like objects or things that are not buildings, physical structures or in any way architecture-related. A new word was clearly needed. So we came up with “folliness” as a word and as a concept. Read all about it here.

So why are you telling me about this?

You may now be wondering what this post is doing here and if this post may itself be an example of folliness. This post is here to explain what it is, since we are so in love with it and because it’s an important part of Young W’s essence, just like the books “The Sorrows of Young Werther” and “Digital Minimalism”.
