What makes prime products special?

I don’t care. I didn’t press the button on the prime product.....

“Hahahaha. It’s the same. It’s labeled as a prime product, but it’s the same as any other product. No matter which one you choose, the taste and price are the same.”

When I was wandering

around in front of the vending machine installed in the corner of the building, some friends gathered and chat started. The content spoken in such an afternoon is all boring topics.
But silly chats often contain important information. Those who inadvertently say it don’t even know that what he said contains important matters.
In the first place, rumors have a mysterious power, in some cases they are prophecies, and in others they are extremely accurate verification results. Let’s cherish the chat.
I wanted to drink something and searched for a delicious soft drink from the vending machine. The products are lined up in front of the vending machine, but there is a slightly special product in the center.
I’m not sure, but only that product is sitting in a special seat. Therefore, it is located in the center of the vending machine as a recommended product. But those same products are even placed at the bottom.

What is the indicator of desire in a homogenized society?

The index of desire in a homogenized society is difference. You will find this to be a contradiction.
Because homogenization is achieved by eliminating all differences. Isn’t it strange that there are still unachieved elements in the achieved goals?
But in this homogenized society, we value difference. The difference we seek is very modest. It’s a little bit better, a little more valuable, a little more respected, and so on.
Surprisingly, however, the reason we ask for such crap is surprisingly large. That is because the remaining differences imply the limits of homogenization.
In other words, we hope that something will remain even if individuality, possibilities, hopes, etc. are homogenized or standardized.
In short, we think we may be able to find our true form in such residual differences.


Some have left the company they worked for for 20 years. I don’t know the reason. But it seems that almost everyone knows the reason.
The reason I don’t know this important information is probably because I don’t give anyone any valuable information. After all, equivalent exchange seems to work in any case.
I don’t care. I didn’t press the button on the prime product.
