fashion is toggle more than advance

fashion, in most times, is present as a toggle of belief, rather than generalization/advance of them.

For one decade, people would fancy ancient values and relics; and the next they’d hate them as if they have poisoned their brain and culture; and the next decade they were loving it again. An advance in this sense would be a more indifferent, critical, skeptical view on the ancient values, treating them as ordinary object with perhaps an older origin, more complex impacts and richer literature(I’m standing on a scholar’s perspective, so I interpret the advance of hmuanity as easier access to more knowledge and wisdom, people getting wise and konw more, rather than believing in the “right thing” and knowing the “right facts”)
