never make unconscious purchase decisions. Consciously set a list of what you want, and follow it.

Yes, but how do you become aware of product you consciously want?

By concatenating words describing concepts I'd like to have together. For example:

  • Foldable rechargeable lightweight flying exoskeleton
  • Cheap quiet fan that fits in my window while moving as much air as possible
  • Waterproof lightweight summer footwear
  • Non-addictive method to instantly fall asleep
  • Low sugar cheesecake
  • Small and cheap dynamometric drill adapter adjustable for 0 to 500Nm

...and so on. Just use your imagination.

Just not the unconscious parts of your imagination. Keep it on the straight and barrow here people.

The unconscious is a myth anyway. Freud was a well-known Nazi, as anyone who’s not an unhinged right-winger already knows.

We’re making sense here guys. Let’s keep this discussion going. This is really coherent stuff.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
