The Subaru Forester Dilemma

When your average consumer desires the new Subaru Forester does it believe that the Subaru Forester will help it fit right into the middle of the Gaussian distribution of consumers, or does it just believe that everyone else just believes that the Subaru will help them fit right into the middle of the Gaussian distribution of consumers?

Conversely, when your six sigma consumer desires not to buy the new Subaru Forester does it believe that the Subaru Forester will help it fit right into the middle of the Gaussian distribution of consumers, or does it just believe that everyone else just believes that the Subaru will help them fit right into the middle of the Gaussian distribution of consumers?

If you follow this closely you will see that there are two key issues here:

1. The lunacy of wanting to fit into the middle of the Gaussian distribution of consumers, or otherwise, and
2. A belief that other people believe something or other with respect to the issue

If you let go of beliefs regarding what other people might believe then you are just left with your own beliefs.

And because you have let go of worrying about what other people might believe then you don’t have to worry about, or have any beliefs with respect to what they might believe, with regards to your own choices.

Then you are just left with your own beliefs. But lacking the counter-weight of your own beliefs about other people’s beliefs, these will automatically disappear up the wazoo.

Then you will be free not to buy the Subaru Forester because of the 100 or so very annoying features, royally fucked up by the Japanese R&D team responsible for developing it’s interior and user interfaces.
