    I have to admit I’m skeptical, and not just because it sounds written by a marketing team.

    Things like the subjective feeling of something are strongly socially determined. When we’re told something is fancy or high quality we have a different and better experience of that thing.

    As humans it’s rarely possible to separate our experience of a thing from our judgements of the people and identities we associate with it.











  • An old boss gave $100 of the store’s money to a conman claiming to be the star player of the West Indies cricket team, who promised a sizable donation when he was able to get back to his hotel room. She got interviewed by the local paper about how she got swindled. Not a lot of money, but not a good look.
