People are awkward



Hier, alors que j'étais entrain de regarder une video sur youtube parlant de l'économie moderne et de ses fondements, je suis tombé sur une théorie de Galileo Galilei qui s'appelle : The Diamonds and Water paradox. En effet, comme vous le savez tous, diamonds are used for luxuary, clothing, looking good, looking rich and beautiful. Water, on the other side is essencial for life. Yet, Water is cheap while diamonds are very very, veeeery expensive. But why ?!

Actually, and here is the tricky part, while water is essensial for life, it's very comon, you can find it everywhere. But diomands, oh no, they are, as you know, really really rare.

So, people are ready to pay more money for something they don't have instead of buying something they need. Ce qui rejoint l'idée fuit le il te suit suit le il te fuit..

Give people something they don't have, don't give them something they need.
Yup ! people are awkward, Gallelio is awsome and I'm the batman..

    1. "The great question that has never been answered, and which I have not yet been able to answer, despite my thirty years of research into the human soul, is 'What do people want?"

  2. People want to be seen, heard, complimented. So when people have enough water, they go looking for what will make them accepted.. diamdond will make them look rich, successful, superior..
