No Pickles https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Mar21_Post.mp4 Way back when I was a kid, Burger King had a memorable jingle. “Hold the pickle hold the lettuce, special orders don’t upset us..” This was an advertising campaign to frame Burger King as a “different” kind of fast food restaurant. A “custom made” fast food restaurant. On […]
Caveman Money
Old School https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Mar18_Post.mp4 Adam Smith described money making as enlightened selfishness. Right off the bat, when you start talking about money or Adam Smith, you are in the world of economics. And from the world of economics, from an academic standpoint, it sounds like a bunch of obscure rules and laws that people […]

Leverage Imaginary Power
Fiction Instinct https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Mar12_Post.mp4 Movies are fantastic. Books are fantastic. Stories are fantastic.

Walk Up Rocks
Rock Man https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Mar09_Post.mp4 Once a I went rock climbing with a friend. A long time ago. And climbs are rated kind of like Earthquakes. On a log scale. So a 6.0 climb is twice as hard as a 5.0 climb. And at the time, I felt comfortable on a 5.5 […]
