    3:38 A flower is simply a weed with an advertising budget.
    12:19 If a problem is persistent, its fairly likely that its solution is logic proof. (The solvability of quintic equations comes to my mind)

      Bill Hicks was Amazing. One of my favorites, though regarding marketing, I’m not sure he grasped that everyone is marketing all the time. It’s a job that has to be done and just because some pilots crash planes doesn’t mean pilots crash planes and we need to get rid of them. Doing a poor job of marketing (which is what is being asked for by having no marketers) is doing everyone a dis service. I guess I’m wrong; government cheese and generic everything for everyone always. The door isn’t a jar... how can the door be a jar?

      I'll try and hopefully I am not wrong. Say, you design the choices to your customers in a way that in any given situation and for any choice they decide to pick there is a tangible upside to which they can can hold on to. In the other hand, the downside need to be balanced too in a way that when a customer pick any particular option the downside should not be too bad to cause resentment.

      If you have two people but only one sandwich, offer lunch to one person and weight loss to the other.
      The lack of options looks bad until you flip the lack of a sandwich into an opportunity.

      If you want to lose weight you need to eat healthy. The "healthy" food generally has a "bad" taste. If you transform the healthy food with cooking skills to taste good you can eat healthy food without feeling bad.
      The power is in your "hands"

      Yes, presumably always go for the simplest route first. It goes hand in hand with looking stupid. Ask really dumb questions and you might make them realise the obvious answer.

      It’s simply because what he has to say is so vital, so engaging and so comprehensive that his accent gets lost in all the magic. Whereas normally you get completely annihilated by the English accent as there is absolutely nothing remotely interesting being said. LOL
