A thought… December 10, 2007

Local ≠ Good

Edit: Let it be remembered that:

Good ≠ Popular

…and:

Successful ≠ Good

Edit: Thanks to Google Charts API:
Local is not good is not successful

Hmmmm? Why not?

Well, I was going for an icon, I guess. The idea is, Local is not Good simply because it’s local.

Maybe I should learn some more logic symbols.

Like: Local ≠ Good IFF Local (local is not necessarily good if and only if it’s local).

They are two axes on a graph:

G| \\        /
O|  \\      /
O|   \\    /
D|    \\__/

   L O C A L

An inverse bell curve. Locally, (on the left side) you’ll find lots of things you love, but not 100%. Go a little farther, you don’t know the area as well, find less things you love (the cream rises to the top, or popularity rears it’s ugly head). Go much farther out, and the sample area is larger, so you find more things you love, but you almost never love them in the same way you love the local stuff.
