I was thinking why do people still do it because comparatively I think fixing your character is easier objectively. And through evolution, humans are engraved by what basic moral principles are. Compared to looks which are much more subjective and plus you can’t change them as much.
my mind is in shambles thinking about how spiders probably go to your bathroom to get a beverage at night sometimes.

We all get excited at seeing people making jams as a local venture, somewhere next to an old old hillstation library, and chilly winds, and children in their dark green blazers going to school, and loads of tree, no sun. The impact of the British era feels magical. Like a fever dream.
We literally feel the excitement in our hearts. We don't have to communicate this; the feeling is palpable. It's written all over our faces.
So it is like our cult; we share the same behaviour and our actions are similar.
Other people may feel like eating fast food in a cafe there. That's cool, but we would want to find something local. Other people may want to visit the clubs there. We would want to visit the churches, temples, people's homes, and look at paintings and the lives of the locals.
AND WE LOOK ALIKE! So a uniform for the members!
We are a club, a cult.
Sounds a lot different from the euphemisms chicken, beef, pork… It’s what they’d say if we were species in an animal documentary.
Love wake and bske. Usually goes on though. So I’m more WBAD than WB
When we began to understand persons and intent then the early brain assigned intent and personhood to nature. That is a god.
Value marketing, which I'm referring to as the value companies put on how much they can profit from a consumer's values related to risk, perhaps ironically started with Pepsi's rival--Coke and Coke's commercial 'I'd Like to Buy the World a Coke' in the 1970s. Because of the giant success of Coke's commercial, companies started copying them and ended up assigning pseudo values to appeal to their consumers. This perliforated into the society on such a scale that South Park could parody it with their "I'm Sorry commercial" for the BP oil spill. After Pepsi echoed Coke, a copy of a copy, of a copy, of a copy, with their 2017 commercial where they pander to as many minorities and groups as they can, the sentiment no longer feels real or genuine.
People started to see through the facade, even if not consciously. The value scheme would no longer work on such an entwined level, so companies stopped putting as much public emphasis on the values of their enterprises.
Where do you see marketing gravitating towards next, or where has it gravitated to in the present?
Edit: thinking about it, i think its gone to emotion based marketing, such as shocking headlines and the splitting of the monoculture into smaller groups which can endlessly spar with one another' driving up engagment, which is also ironic since it was the outrage or emotions of the consumer that culminated into why Peps's commercial failed.

I occasionally still look at my bed or my couch and think I could, but then when I have to clean under them (like now) I'm like "what the fuck happened???"
Has anyone though about how we store our data now? Take music for example. They had records, then 8 tracks, then tapes, cds…. But now it’s all digital. You don’t physically own any music. So if everything goes to shit, or all electronics get nuked. You have nothing. No music, no phone, no books, is this where we are headed? Make us dependent or used to all digital data and then take it away… we’d be so screwed! What are your thoughts? Does anyone collect physical things anymore? (Books, records, etc)
So imagine a universe where on a planet there are only men, which also have only male offsprings VS a planet with women and same gender babies.
All of them started at the same time same population, which of them planets would do better, ie society wise, life, technology etc.
In the long run and short too.
I don’t like the eyes of sheep. They creep me out. Look like serial killer eyes.
