Rep for linking a TED talk which is awesome.
Yeah I hadn't seen that one before, but I like it a lot. Really I like anything that points out how faulty a typical persons perceptions are, even with something so simple and subjective as what flavors they like. This is why we have the scientific method, and more and more we are learning that it applies to everything, even something as unlikely as the flavor of spaghetti sauce. |

Whenever someone asks for a book recommendation, I tell them to start reading his books... I'm trying to find time to finish his latest, What the Dog Saw. It really is fascinating stuff, and I really enjoy his research & storytelling on marketing and education.

Great video. Its a lost art in purchasing in today's retail. There's a published study....sorry no link... take it for what you will. But for every person that asks for it... there are 2 others that want it but wont ask for it. Regardless what it is. Simple study of human behavior that corporations spend millions of dollars in and never understand because its so simple.

Eh, I disagree he was setting up a story and making points through the eyes of a quirky professor. Showing his stubborn point of view and how he interpreted things. It was funny.

True, the story is funny because of how simple his conclusion is. His delivery of it is good, but the fro takes it too another level. |
