The truth about marketing & how it makes billions for the bottled water industry

It is critical that we develop a keen sense of empirical truth. Too many times we buy into ideas that seem bigger than they really are, or ideas that are just ideas, with nothing to substantiate our fear that the idea alleviates. I guess that is the job of any marketeer, to make you want something to feel better about yourself, and a good marketing campaign will sell you products. To help us cut through the clutter of ideas and enable us to spend our hard earned money only on what we really need to, it is good to see through any product hype. Bottom line for the bottled water industry is that you need to go for the cheapest water you can find. No need Fiji water at $1.50 a bottle, when bottled water at $0.20 is good enough from Costco.

When two galaxies collide..

Our galaxy contains about 100 Billion stars. (ie aka suns). When we look up into the sky, we see more galaxies than stars. The Hubble telescope enables us to see amazing things no one can dispute. We can now see things that our ancestors can only speculate about. Empirical truth about the nature of our sky, and place in this world has evolved tremendously from claiming that we are the center of the universe. We are more insignificant than that.
