Clueless and well-paid
January 31st, 2003
Marc discovers the "perception is reality" principle in the real world. My first impression of somebody always has to do with his appearance. As a general rule of thumb, the more expensive somebody is clad, the more cluelessness he wants to hide with his clothes. I even experienced this myself: on a blue Monday, I put on a suit to go to work. I even felt dumber than normal. Seriously.
The catch is, that for most people, this works. "He's got a nice suit, he must be very intelligent". That's how they get away with it. Maybe my next career choice will be to start wearing expensive suits, become blissfully ignorant, and earn tons of money.
