I’m a sucker for superstimuli. Can you give me some heuristics for overcoming both the consumption and production of harmful superstimuli? Consumption for obvious reason, production because if it becomes a socially normative ethical injunction, I can be much more trusting and feel more safe.
Here’s one I feel might work for producers: if you’re pitch to customers differs from your pitch to investors, you’re deceiving some combination of either, both and/or yourself. For instance, Jaspers Great Cafe might market to investors that their selling a particularly caffeinated product which is addictive, so it’ll get repeat business, but market to consumers as it’s got a particular kick to wake you up more than usual. Both are true properties of caffeine, but unless you have strong reason to believe that the profile of your investors and customers differs significantly enough that you have can communicate to them better by communicating differently, you’re probably behaving a little fraudulently.
