Rory Sutherland spoke on the term "doorman fallacy". Love that guy, he speaks behavioral economics. It’s what happens when leadership cuts a line item that looks redundant on a spreadsheet, entirely missing the unmeasurable, qualitative value it actually drives.
Example: Of view a doorman strictly as a mechanical mechanism to open a door, replacing him with an automatic slider looks like an easy financial win. But if his actual function is elevating the hotel’s status, greeting guests, and commanding the curb, you didn't just cut cost, you downgraded the entire experience.
Let's look at it another way:
Restaurants (because of course). A spot facing financial pressure looks at the payroll and decides to eliminate the host, replacing them with a sleek iPad check-in kiosk.
The assumption is, You just wiped out an entire labor shift and optimized your front desk.
In reality: You killed the guest experience before they even sit down.
A tablet can’t read the energy of a room, smooth over a 20-minute table delay with a complimentary drink or app, or make a high-spending regular feel like a priority. You traded a vital hospitality touchpoint for a piece of glass. When repeat bookings tank and your average check drops because the vibe feels sterile, that spreadsheet "saving" becomes an expensive mistake.
In the next ten years, we'll learn whether yet another one of Sony's gambles was worth while, or will they have shown their nearly strangely loyal fan base how valuebale they really are.
I personally have little interest in continuing building a library with PlayStation, allowing my kids to invest, or being a champion to the platform for first time or returning players.
Sure there will be great experiences, but every purchase is tainted with the expectation of the brand not being in favor of the consumer, so I'll put my games on other platforms even if it's not the "best place to play"
We seal envelopes not because the letter contains a conspiracy, but because the contents belong exclusively to the sender and the receiver.
The "nothing to hide" argument is pure corporate/state propaganda. Privacy isn't about hiding a crime; it's about deciding who gets access to your life. It’s a boundary of power, not a shield for guilt.

I’m happy to announce that I took part in this collab with talented artists to celebrate our favorite mayor and singer 🌹💋
Many thanks to Víctor for organizing this wonderful collab! 💖
Had a weird urge to do some Buzz Variants of my own Buzz! Some based off real figures, others name dropped variants in an old short, and ones I just thought would look cool with fun/silly gimmicks
You know, I’m working on a video talking about SEGA’s death in the console market
And for as much as their end was a disaster of self inflicted wounds, at least people still LIKED their stuff
Sony and Microsoft feel like they’re TRYING to get everyone to hate them
all members of the eu parliament who voted for chat control should have all of their private conversations published and printed on paper. for their safety, of course!
I'm not gonna lie, even without the physical disc controversy, the idea of a PS6 sounds like the most pointless and uninteresting console of all time 💀
