AI is overhyped and will likely ruin everyone's life

I don't get the hype on ai. I feel like at best it's gonna just like, ruin everyone's life. Except for like a few people who will make all the money... I don't get why anyone is like pro ai... this could be really bad for everyone.

Gold is more valuable than money

I'm going to go with something better than money, gold. [Gold is more valuable than money.] It is.

While gold has intrinsic value, money is the medium of exchange; the claim 'gold is better than money' is a philosophical/economic debate, but factually gold is a form of money/asset.

Sports only drive bar business about 70 days a year

Sports will only fill a bar about 70 days a year... And a lot of people think, oh, but a sports bar, they come every night. That's not true. They don't come for every baseball game, only postseason. They don't come for every NBA game, only postseason...tops 70, 80 days.

This is a business statistic Taffer frequently cites based on his industry data.

Women over 34 need backs on barstools, while younger women prefer stools without them

When you have women over 34, you put her back on a barstool... Under 34, you don't. And the reason why is over 34, women get very sensitive about their asses... Under 34, I want you to spin around for interactivity.

This is a specific design philosophy from Taffer. While 'correct' in his methodology, it's a generalization of customer behavior.

99% of office meetings could be solved with a text thread

I would say that 99% of meetings in general could just be solved with a text thread.

While hyperbolized, the sentiment is widely accepted in modern business theory regarding productivity.

Cell phone and cable companies are the best businesses because customers are ignorant but need the product

There are two businesses that you really should be in... the cell phone business and in the cable business. Because when you are in a business where the customers don't understand what it's all about, what the bills are all about, but they need it, what better business could that be?

This is a subjective business philosophy.
