This video essay makes the case that Disneyland has a kind of resonance.

Even though it's entirely manufactured, the creators of it were thinking about the indirect effects and sense of place, not just any given incremental change's direct impact on the bottom line.

That long-term view is what has made it such a resonant place for so many for so long.

Disneyland is manufactured, not emerged.

But it does resonate with millions of people in ways that are deeper than just commercialism.

The MBA mindset of short-term / incremental gains will slowly weather it until nothing is left.
