More marketing and less merchandise. Isn’t this what marketing is all about? I want you to get my stuff (product, merchandise, product, box of widgits,….. fill in the blank). Get it because I’m presenting it so well see? You really want it! It doesn’t really matter what it is… advertising becomes a means in itself, not a means to an end.

Hi Rich,
Beauty-ful exercise!
I wish to see on this chart:
More Information but Less Focus

MORE Internet Time LESS Family Time

The lists above are impressive. I couldn’t add to them, yet I want to contribute.

I actually focus on the ‘ mores’ in life rather than the ‘ lesses’.

That’s not to say I walk around in rose-coloured glasses.

When interacting with myself or with other people, I have:

Less hangups, more self-assurance
Less judgmentalism, more respect
Less assumption-making, more clarification requests
Less taking things for granted, more gratitude
Less carelessness, more care-taking doing tasks
Less gulibility, more astuteness

And so on

Just me,

I do appreciate that the purpose of the table was to alert, I’m just indulging.

Hi

Yes this paradox is wired, but also very normal I think. Let’s say you have a small company 9 employee, than you don’t need a big staff to run all the accounting, and other every day events.
The paradox will come very fast when you have 20 or more working for you.
Let’s say the limit for a small business is 25 persons, in this company it is enough to have a director and one to help with accounting in the office.
If this company with 25 employee get a new employee, the company will grow by 3 to 4 people, it will be one in the production (the new employee) and to run the office the right way they have to have one more employee there to. The director can now not take care of the daily day doings, so he needs to have one employee to run the production. So with one extra employee, this company needs to hire 3 new people to run the business as usual.
So now the paradox comes, the company have now 3 more employee, the commando from the boss shall trough more people to get to the person it is meant for, and this can create some problems like misinformation, misunderstanding.
This is of cause a little wrong when you only have fewer than 30 employees, but i think it is what happens in the world to.
All the worlds citizens grow with very high speed, more people in the world mean more people in the governments, but the problem is there are not enough people with the skill we use in the world, so we build more schools, universes but we don’t have enough skilled teachers, so we produce more of them, but we don’t have enough teachers in our universities, so we produce more of them, but who shall do that.
That is a problem so we find new ways to educate people who shall educate others, so we cut down on the time it takes to educate those people, it is not enough so we give people a computer and they can stay home and a teacher will than try to educate big big groups, but of all the students there are some who are bright others are like you and me, and need to ask for help, but there are no help to find, yes maybe people can get help on a help desk after the lesson, but do they remember the problem than.
more students less help
more citizens less time
more “less time” less quality
more “less quality” less understanding
and so on.
I think we are in spiral where we can get out, too much growth is the problem, because all the needs will raise with the growth, and we can keep the speed up, so we feel this paradox.
Think when we 50 years from now can say
more people NO food, not only less food but NO food, NO water to drink, NO value of the money earned and so on.
Only one solution and it is not a good one, only one child per family, or a much worse situation all old citizens shall be sent to the moon, we can simply not have them here where they belong.
Think of this scenario scary.
