  • I would go as far to say that most ‘peoples brains’ dont remember new names well, unless there is a strong emotion tied to the meeting of a new person (hate, fear, infatuation, etc) then its easy to forget what someone said by the time you have made some introductory small talk and moved on to a conversation topic or had to break off the conversation and go elsewhere.
    I find i either have to have somebody else say their name a lot for it to stick or i mentally break off from the conversation when i can get away with it and in mind find a way of remembering their name with a trick like associating it with a similar sounding word, or a famous actor with the same/similar name, etc.













  • There is no such thing as a free service.

    People need to eat, bills need to be paid, shelter needs to be provided and unless people can have these at no expense and create things for pure passion & share for others to enjoy then they need the means to pay for these things.

    The internet has whittled this down to a few basic models:

    • Pay the service directly for the content (subscriptions or 1 time purchases)
    • ‘Free’ content and they serve you ads which they are paid for by companies trying to sell something to you
    • ‘Free’ content and they sell every bit of data they can scrape from you to companies which are again, trying to sell something to you.

    If you could find a way to do anything without having to pay for our human needs then would it be a trillion dollar idea or would money be meaningless now when people wouldnt need it to live & enjoy their lives?
