Consumers Are Idiots
“people are idiots. Put another way, people like shiny things. When the glossy screens first started to appear in Best Buy and CompUSA, the contrast with their non-glossy brethren was striking. Walking into the laptop aisle, your eye was immediately drawn to the glossy displays. Aside from the shine, there’s also a perceptible difference in sharpness and color saturation on glossy screens. These things stand out.”
“You can take out a video essentials DVD and “prove” that one TV has better objective picture quality than another, and people will still insist that you’re wrong and proceed to buy the brighter TV instead.”
Inspiration
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
Mark Twain Said:
In religion and politics, people’s beliefs and convictions are in almost every case gotten at second hand, and without examination.
