Thank you for sharing. It reminds me of what (I believe) Edward Wilson said: the problem of humanity is that we have paleolithic emotions, medieval institutions, and godlike technology.

Humans since the beginning of time , have taken decisions based on both logic and emotions . However emotions > logic every time .

Corporations are aware that the 7 deadly sins will never go out of fashion.

Nice one. The most successful consumer products don’t overthink it, they serve very obvious human desires.
