Today I'm just feeling like those WeWork incubator guys were mad geniuses. Who could have predicted that people would pay for a ~cubicle~ and give you an equity stake in their company? These things have been out there for years now and what are they working on?! Seriously.

There is a huge disparity in the form of new products coming into the economy vs. the amount of giant buildings those WeWork guys are putting up.

Mad geniuses I tell you.

  1. Hello She Said,

    What product /service would you bring to market? Do not answer, it is for you to develop and profit by. I believe you can and the world will be a better place thereby.

  2. I think people are overly obsessed with making the world a better place. Most of the great products of our time were made to solve a problem. Not necessarily to make the world a better place. For instance, video games don't really make the world a better place. They make people happy playing them and one could argue people being happy makes the world a better place.

    Some products were only made to solve problems like - I want to see at night. And therefor the world became a better place because people could see at at night. I think everyone has Steve Jobs syndrome right now, and I don't even think his original intent was to make the world a better place. He just wanted to sell computers.

    Make the world a better place for ... what exactly?

    I'm voting for making the world a better place for lying about how we're making the world a better place with each new consumer product.

    Also, I'm Joe Isuzu, and you'll buy this vehicle that's a steaming pile of crap because it's less of a steaming pile of crap than this other vehicle. (It also has the lowest failure rate in the industry.)

    Its anti-lock brakes are going to keep you from squishing those cute little ducklings that are walking in front of you on the way to the beach! (Probably not, because you're not going to see them in time, so enjoy scraping duck parts off your front grille, duck killer. This won't void your warranty.)

    I'm going to club this baby seal so you get a better deal! (It's actually an animatronic gimp suit that was turned into a baby seal prop at the last minute, and the owner doesn't want it back, but go ahead and feel sorry for it while we club the shit out of it.)

    THE FUTURE IS SO GOING TO BE HYPED UP AND AWESOME! (One out of two ain't bad.)

    THE FUTURE IS SO BRIGHT I GOTTA WEAR SHADES! (Just don't look directly at the magnesium road flares set out in front of you.)

    OUR PLANS FOR DOMINATION ARE FOOLPROOF! (Said every James Bond 007 villain e.v.e.r.)

    Now if you'll excuse me, I have some "new and innovative product" to squeeze out of my "personal productivity factory" ... (It's LOG, LOG, LOG!) :-)

  4. First - you can't really be a ren and stimpy fan. For everyone else this is what he's referring to. It's my favorite cartoon of all time. You're not like the others. You like the same things I do.

    Jeff has a fair point though - quit ya bitchen and make something yourself.

  6. It's literally my favorite episode. I still use a million phrases from ren and stimpy.
