Mediocre brands sell "product". Great brands sell "value". And this image shows the difference. Skincare brand The Ordinary is known for selling essentials (e.g. moisturiser) at a low price which reflects the fair cost of the goods. This "honest pricing" approach gets traction

It's a sick joke: 1. We spend our teenage years mastering the art of "fitting in". 2. And then spend our adult years desperately trying to "stand out".

There’s a serious problem with the way people are analysing this tariff business, and who the “winners” will be etc. Everyone acts like the USA, Europe, etc are political entities, and their fate is determined by the policies they follow. But they are not. What they are is

Reverse Strategy: (The way that actually works) Don't find a customer problem, and then try to come up with a solution. You probably won't find an original problem, or be able to think of an original solution. Instead, identify what is ALREADY weird, different, or unusual

Happiness isn't determined by what you have. Happiness is determined by what you WANT. Because what you want determines how you live your life day to day. It shapes how you spend your time. It dictates what "life" actually is for you. Nothing is higher stakes than choosing

I don't have a strong opinion on the tariffs. I actually think they're a distraction from the real issue - the issue that is actually driving the tariffs in the first place. And that is this: -> The future belongs to low-welfare nations If you look around the world right now,

18°C is not a “heatwave” and nor is the UK “set to roast”.

UK businesses beware! Companies House wants all small businesses to start posting their profit and loss statements for the world to see. When this goes ahead, not only can everyone see your finances in detail, they’ll see what you spend your money on. If your business has

In France at the moment. Interesting to compare with the UK. On the face of it they are both bloated European bureaucracies crumbling under the weight of insane tax burdens. But I will give France a point: - At least they *do* something with their taxes. Although the private

I do not for one minute believe that only 11,392 people have signed this. Please give it a share.

You make a sale of £1200 in your business £200 is VAT You have £1000 You pay 25% corp tax on it You have £750 You pay it to yourself as a dividend and pay 20% You have £600 You spend it and £100 of the spend was VAT You have something worth £500 You die and pass that

The most important global change in the past decade, by far, is this: - The mobility of money The ability (and willingness) of rich people to move to a country that suits their preferences. This is seismic, for the simple reason that most developed countries have designed

Do people not realise that the reason AI is sycophantic (or arbitrarily contrarian if you ask it to be), is because it’s not capable of judgement? It cannot think, it can only pattern. This surely is obvious.

You can really see with this how the predictive engine works. It’s always asking “what is this likely to be” rather than “what is it”. Right down to that little cartoon smile with the cheek that crops up near the end. What it does is totally unreasoned, but because it

Plant lots of trees in our towns & cities. Trees produce oxygen, capture carbon, reduce pollution, reduce flooding, reduce temperatures, provide habitats for urban wildlife and are beautiful. This is the type of environmentalism that governments should be investing in. 🌳🌳🌳🌳

Ai has been around for a while now. Can you name one unambiguously good thing that has come from it? What exactly is the point of technological advancement without upside?
