There’s no secret to the tagline-writing Process, brands and copywriters. You consume as much knowledge about the brand as you can, let it all incubate in your brain, and start writing. At first, you try to make sense. Get a bad, inaccurate thesaurus, like Roget’s, and start connecting words. Connect them in and out of order. Then, leave your senses and write any stupid thought that comes into your mind. Then, get stoned. And keep writing. Use curse words. Write anti-taglines — taglines that make the brand sound like the worst thing ever invented. Write 50, 100, 500 taglines. Eventually, you may get to something that’s pretty good. But you may not. At that point, you’ll want to kill yourself or go back to digging ditches for a living. Or, you can keep writing.

It takes 10,000 display ads to generate 6 clicks Over half of all display ads that are bought are unviewable Only 9% (at most) of display ads get even 1 second of attention 80% of people who are aware of ad blockers use them About 2/3 of millennials have ad blockers installed on their devices Ad fraud is out of control and no one knows the true level of ad fraud None of the reporting about online traffic or clicks is reliable

How Two Trailblazing Psychologists Turned the World of Decision Science Upside Down | Vanity Fair
Each of us human beings, for example, is the product of an enormously long sequence of accidents, any of which could have turned out differently. Think of the fluctuations that produced our galaxy, the accidents that led to the formation of the solar system, including the condensation of dust and gas that produced Earth, the accidents that helped to determine the particular way that life began to evolve on Earth, and the accidents that contributed to the evolution of particular species with particular characteristics, including the special features of the human species. Each of us individuals has genes that result from a long sequence of accidental mutations and chance matings, as well as natural selection. Now, most single accidents make very little difference to the future, but others may have widespread ramifications, many diverse consequences all traceable to one chance event that could have turned out differently. Those we call frozen accidents.

People have to leave the house and get in line to vote. And if they live in poor, Black or Hispanic neighbourhoods, they not only have a longer line to wait in, everything is being done to literally stop them from casting a ballot. So in most elections, it’s hard to get even 50% to turn out to vote. And therein lies the problem

“Following your passion is a very “me”-centered view of the world. When you go through life, what you’ll find is what you take out of the world over time — be it money, cars, stuff, accolades — is much less important than what you’ve put into the world. So my recommendation would be follow your contribution. Find the thing that you’re great at, put that into the world, contribute to others, help the world be better and that is the thing to follow.” ~Ben Horowitz

Intelectualul trăiește cu impresia că doar expertiza sa poate să ordoneze ordinea socială complexă, altfel, haotică, dezordonată, că doar o minte-directoare superioară, și aici se găsește ”infatuarea lui fatală”, poate da un sens, o direcție, o logică unor proces neproiectate, spontane și, aparent, de nepătruns. De aici, vine ura intelectualilor față de piață și de instrumentele ei fundamentale (competiția, banii și sistemul bancar etc). Demonizarea pieței nu reprezintă decât eșecul inevitabil al unor infatuați cărora le vine greu să accepte că procesele sociale complexe scapă voinței și minții lor pretins omnisciente. Acesta este motivul pentru care, în general, intelectualii urăsc efectul funcționării pieței, adică bogăția. Pretinzând că dețin toată cunoașterea necesară funcționării sistemului economic, refuză să creadă că procesele libere, necontrolate se bazează pe abilitățile și cunoștințele unui biet vânzător de ciorapi și nu exclusiv pe propria superioritate lor intelectuală. Unui asemenea ins îi vine greu să accepte că un ins cu patru clase poate fi recompensat de piața liberă cu o avere mai mare decât un savant.
LaPunkt – Interviu Gabriel MURSA: Despre libertate, economie, societate şi gîndirea critică
If everybody gets the same rewards, as they do under communism with their iron rice bowl, nobody strives to excel; society will not prosper, and progress will be minimal. That led to the collapse of the communist system. On the other hand, in a highly competitive society where winners get big prizes and losers paltry ones, there will be a great disparity between the top and the bottom layers of society, as in America. … At the end of the day, the basic problem of fairness in society will need to be solved. But first, we have to create the wealth. To do that, we must be competitive and have a good dose of the “yang.” If we have too much of the “yin” and over- redistribute the incomes of the successful, then we will blunt their drive to excel and succeed, and may lose too many of our able, who will move to other countries where they are not so heavily taxed. On the other hand, if too many at the lower end feel left out, then our society will become divisive and fractious, and cohesiveness will be lost. Communism has failed. The welfare state of Western democracies has also failed.
Lee Kuan Yew: Competitiveness and Equality
. Răul lumii noastre civilizate e statul, statul care ne-a naţionalizat societăţile, ne-a etatizat vieţile, ne-a ipotecat proprietăţile, a pus botniţă libertăţilor – uniformizând egalităţile şi înregimentând fraternităţile. Statul este monstrul cel mai rece, monstrul care ne-a confiscat totul în numele minciunii că el, statul, este poporul, este societatea, este civilizaţia. Nu, nu este.

Political elites in the most liberal democracies will therefore face more and more dramatic versions of the choice faced by France’s constitutional court: They can either heed the anger of their constituents — turning their countries into places where the people rule but individual rights are regularly violated. Or they can insulate the political system from the views of the people by giving more and more power to unelected institutions like constitutional courts, independent bureaucratic institutions, or international organizations — turning their countries into places where individual rights are upheld but the views of the people go ignored. One way or the other, liberal democracy is increasingly under siege. Over the next few years, it is likely to decompose into its constitutive elements, facing us with a tragic choice between illiberal democracy (or democracy without rights) and undemocratic liberalism (or rights without democracy).

It's not that complicated, folks. If you want good services, good products, innovative ideas, and low prices, you need competitive markets. The more you control, the higher the prices and the worse the results.

The value of your vote is what you give it. Should you spend it on a candidate you don’t believe in? Should it be an exercise in fear? It’s up to you. It is my hope that these mathematical calculations will bring you freedom from the idea that only majority party votes matter. A vote is a statement, a vote is personal, a vote is an expression of your citizenship in this country. If enough people vote their conscience and vote for what they believe in, things can change.
