So I was in this half-dream state just before waking up this morning, and had this weird dream where I was shopping for some generic clothing piece, I belevie it was socks or underwear…anyways. I was having a discussion with the salesperson as to which size I should buy, small or medium? The salesperson didn’t have much advice to give me, except to confirm that I could not return the item once I’ve tried it on (obviously). Which got me then to say “Hm, which size would be more deceitful if the item didn’t fit and I had to live with it?”. And so I turned to the salesperson and said “Alright, I have decided that my anticiped level of deception should guide my choice – I will go for the small”. At first, I find that this looks like the mere psychological consequences of a constructed cultural aura of consumerism and that even if we don’t want to buy, we have to. But I feel there is mabye a bit more to this… What in the world does this mean…
