Fact or fiction which one is more powerful
I cannot figure this out. What has more influence on human behavior: fiction or non fiction. My feeling is that fiction is the most powerful one but i am not 100% sure. Another question is what we perceive as factual really factual or is it fiction? since it seems that most of the stories we hear about and supposedly hard core information in lots of cases is made up. It seems that a great deal of life is all made up through story telling and the simple execution of ideas which falls in the same category. In the case of our personalities they also seem to me to be made up, almost as characters in a play or a movie that only difference is that we play the role for a whole life time. Fiction gives us the opportunity to expand beyond our limitations and explore the unlimited while non fiction is about dealing with a fixed and frozen reality with all its limitations. It is something I have been thinking about for a long time. If you can help me out with some feedback on this matter I would appreciate. All the best and may you play your best role possible with no limitations, then it become a fact or not. Just play.

Prices starting to drop due to the internet I think
I like designers frames(eyeware) and I have been noticing how prices are improving online. They are lowering significantly from lets say from $300 with prescriptions to $95 with prescription and at times even lower than that. I am very excited about this trend because it is starting to hit home. It is about the stuff that I consume . I am also seeing this trend in shirts and I wondering when is it going happen to fountain pens, etc. Maybe the dream of efficient information and price comparison online is starting to take effect, both online and retail. It feels like retail now has more variety of offerings and prices. A cool company for designer frames with an innovative business model and good prices is Warby Parker http://www.warbyparker.com. In the clothing category I recently bought shirts at a Japanese designer shop in New York City called Kamakura shirts, great designs and happy prices http://www.kamakurashirts.com

Creativity is the new Killer app
The industrial revolution has been for many years all about making human beings predictable, productive and efficient. It worked very well for a certain period of time but now we are moving away for this living and production model.We are entering a new paradigm in which repetition and imitation are sure ways to have your tasks, job or input automated, outsourced or even made irrelevant. Here are two videos dealing with creativity and its importance.
