This German word is one of my favourites and it means ‘spirit of the age’, which obviously doesn’t sound as streamlined as the German (which translates literally as time-spirit. For cognate lovers, Zeit = tide and Geist = ghost). I don’t personally think zeitgeist is a bullshit word (yet) but what else could we have here?
So, I hope you’ve enjoyed this zeitgeist-optimized blog and that it has helped you to repurpose all the no-brainers you’ve always wanted to leverage but didn’t have the performance-driven hands-on competencies to implement.
