Although if your buzzy YouTube philosopher is Byung-chul Han I suppose we can give that a pass as he himself seems to have no interest in being one.

What about when something is conceived and built for one purpose, but people come in charge who repurpose it in a different direction? Is there a distinction sometimes between what is meant to be, and what is in practice?
