Global consumer strategist Aparna Bharadwaj shares a fascinating glimpse at under-the-radar affinities that transcend cultures and borders — from the way people snack in China and Saudi Arabia to how people shop for clothes in the US and Russia. “There are patterns where you least expect them,” she says — and paying attention to them just might bring the world a little bit closer.

You build on failure. You use it as stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don’t try to forget the mistakes,but you don’t dwell on it. You don’t let it have any of your energy or any of your time or any of your space

99.99% of humanity doesn’t care about any of that. Only “Global consumer strategists” find it fascinating so they can justify their existence. At best, its an interesting factoid to talk about at dinner parties to impress your less intelligent peers while you tell them how you are trying to sell “next product”.

this is great research, a lovely way of finding how people connect with eachother in ways you wouldn’t have imagined. And indeed, the last message is important. Maybe this information can help people from countries that are connected in the most profound ways to empathize with each other. Creating new friendships and unlocking barriers amongst eachother!

Unfortunately the title almost sounds like propaganda during this dystopian satire we seem to be accepting as the new cultural narrative. Our true reality is in our cosmic inheritance, everything else changes all the time. No one ever wins a culture war… ok, now I’ll watch the clip 🙂

This is interesting but I don’t think that how people choose a car, or what clothes they want to wear says much about real values and desires for social progress. Such connections are somewhat superficial and really only help companies know where to market their products.
What the world needs is to consume less and rediscover how we connect in deeper, more profound ways as a human species in evolutionary and, maybe, spiritual ways.

Watch Rupert Sheldrakes Ted Talk about Challenging Scientific Dogmas. Ted see fit to remove it. Apparently they should decide what opinions you hear and what you don’t. Watch it at After Skool on YouTube.
