I'm really getting tired of bing ":nudged" to make "better" decisions by all the Behavioral Economists.
Likewise. Aristophanes is trolling like mad re Q.
I remember, when I started my art course, I was fed to the teeth I should get premium sable brushes, Arches paper, Belgium linen, Conte crayons, W&N watercolour paints, Old Holland oils paints, etc. ... Or I won't be a good painter.
Ehh, really?
And I ended up paining with much cheaper but more durable squirrel brushes, locally made paper, different crayons, cheaper but same quality paints, etc. And the finished paintings and drawings looked to me same, or, even better, because they suited me.
You see, traditional art stuff and digital photography, but same baloney sold over and over again.
I missed nothing, saved a lot of money, and learned along the way
how to look outside the box. And in the art course, as in photography, that is the behaviour and thinking you must learn yourself in order to create something truly valuable.
Or you end up being a dumb consumer ruled by numbers.
