Yeah, for sure! I mean, Narcissus is in the public consciousness there to back up your idea.

It's an interesting idea: that a piece of tech can represent one thing and have certain moral sensibilities that form around it, and then some innovation or something changes our relationship with it (in this case, puts it on a wall in every bathroom).

Maybe it changed us in ways we can't fully know! Maybe commoditizing the mirror largely robbed it of its power. Or maybe we're all a bunch of narcissists in ways we can't comprehend because we don't have the anti-mirror people out there scolding us.

Before mirrors, people would say there was something stuck in your teeth and you had to just believe them.
