“Fast food is both evil and genius. Because of it we can feed a large number of people fairly decently at an affordable price. However, all the artificial flavors and artificial ingredients in some of their products are unacceptable. And it's designed so you can eat fast so you get back to work more quickly. Not good.” PeopleEvilNumbersProductsGeniusGet BackIngredientsArtificialFlavorAffordableLarge NumbersFast FoodBack To Work Author:Eric Ripert
“Several large, artificial constructions are approaching us, ZORAC announced after a short pause. The designs are not familiar, but they are obviously the products of intelligence. Implications: we have been intercepted deliberately by a means unknown, for a purpose unknown, and transferred to a place unknown by a form of intelligence unknown. Apart from the unknowns, everything is obvious.” MeanHas BeensFormPurposeDesignProductsHumorousObviousFamiliarConstructionArtificialPausesImplications Book:The Two Worlds Source: The Two Worlds

“We grow by letting the customer tell us. So when the customer tells us that they're frustrated, that they just got their catalogue and we're already out of a product they wanted, then it tells me that we're not making enough. We let the customer tell us instead of creating an artificial demand for our products. Any time you're making products that people don't need, you're at the mercy of the economy, you're at the mercy of whatever is going on. So we tried to avoid that situation.” PeopleNeedsEnoughWantedGrowsBusinessSituationEconomyProductsDemandCreatingMercyCustomersArtificialFrustratedNeed YouCataloguesDon't Need You Author:Yvon Chouinard
