Why?
Being a cynic, I found it hard to watch Simon Sinek’s talk and take the selling seriously. I have a hard time believing that people actually make products with deeper intent. Between my father having me read business books that extolled the virtues and “bending the truth” to customers and the increasing shift toward corporate virtue signaling, I have become jaded from this selling of ideas and identities instead of people making informed decisions about the actual reality of products.
What is
My “why” is a draw to pull things apart and look at them in a Sartrean light that shows them for what they are outside of some contrived context. Sometimes this comes across as callous, sacrilegious, or perverse, but that’s all subjective.
