Hi !
I hope im not off topic..(then i apologize)
I was curios about you tread name, i readit & is come in my mind this:
The paradox of choice:
Why more is ......LESS !?!
"the secret of hapiness: ...low expectation!"
god one!
Is offering 'choice' is an often used tactic to artificially manufacture the feeling of having freedom when you don't
(Pepsi/ Coke.... Democrat/ Republican ...etc).
...some posts:
#1 "the way to maximise freedom is to maximise choice" Not true. The way to maximise freedom is to be allowed to assume responsibility for your own life.
This speaker appears to be pushing communism.
#2 "...This stupidly large diversity, isn't giving us more choice more so than the illusion of more choice. His point is that these aren't the choices that should matter, and we need to make the ones that matter more important..!
#3 "..How about when you have these choices and have been trained to believe your options are limited?"
#4 "It's not a matter of need. It's a matter of want. You are correct that we do not need 400 types of cars. But if you take that seriously, we don't even need any cars. You can use public transportation for most of your needs. If you need larger or a different type of vehicle, you can rent it.However, as free people(my edit:what is this?!), our wants dictate the what the market can supply. Thus, if I want a different style than you, the market can supply it."
#5 "I had played all my old xbox games but lost odyssey. I really, really wanted to play it, but it was late, so I waited. I was going to play thegame the next day, but for some reason I decided to go to the store. I bought a bunch of games and never played them. When I had time to play them, I couldn't decide what to play, so I went on amazon and bought a bunch of books. I ended up with a ps3, and more than 15 games I have yet only played a few, not including books and other things.!"
And here a better one (my favorite):
#5"A more intelligent person, when given a large variety of choices, will likely research the subject until they are confident that they are choosing wisely, while a less intelligent person, who probably does not care as much in the first place, chooses what is simplest. So I guess that raises the question: are intelligent people better off than less intelligent people? "
And to final "i choice" to post here and " i choice" to copy/paste
...ok...im finish...but was not my ..."choise " !
All the best to all.
