Step 2, Groceries

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the step-3-profit dept.

prostoalex writes "Fortune magazine runs an article on New York - based FreshDirect, provider of high-quality groceries. Unlike Webvan, which failed with $1B of venture capital, FreshDirect seems to make pretty good money off online grocery sales - revenues of $225M are projected by 2004. The minimum order is set at $40, the company also charges $4 for delivery." If you want to check out their store, try zip code 10022.

    Aesop's fable "The Boy Who Cried Wolf."

    Fable reflects common view of primary reason to be honest. Dishonesty can damage trust in our relationships. So many lies go undetected. Trust Argument inadequate to justify honesty as a virtue.

    Recent defenses of dishonesty rely upon inadequacy of this argument. Fashionable defenses of dishonesty by philosophers and psychologists: Nyberg and Ford. We can help people by lying to them. Reality too harsh.

    Tonight discuss the major egoistic arguments for honesty. There are lots, more than 12, some uniquely Objectivist, others also found in philosophical literature. Hope for practical benefits in discussing these arguments, so that think of possible long-range consequences if lying seems like a good option. Also discuss when honesty not required.

    Defenders of dishonesty also rely upon an expansive view of lies. Any failure to say exactly what you are thinking and feeling, any filters or discretion dishonest.

    I wrote this song for you:

    I Think FAILURES are really a huge problem
    I Think trolls are too much on my mind
    I Think sporks have got a lot to do with why the world sucks
    But what can you do?

    Like a black rain, beating down on me
    Like a Jon Katz line, which won't let go of my brain
    Like CmdrTaco's ass, it is in my head
    Blame it on FAILURES
    Blame it on FAILURES
    Blame it on FAILURES

    I Think hot grits are gonna drive us all crazy
    And zig make me feel like a child
    I Think first posters will eventually be the downfall of civilization
    But what can you do? I said what can you do?

    Like a black rain, beating down on me
    Like a Jon Katz line, which won't let go of my brain
    Like CmdrTaco's ass, it is in my head
    Blame it on FAILURES
    Blame it on FAILURES
    Blame it on FAILURES

    Like a black rain, beating down on me
    Like CmdrTaco's smile, cruel and cold
    Like Jon Katz's ass, it is in my head
    Blame it on FAILURES
    Blame it on FAILURES
    Blame it on FAILURES
    YOU FAIL IT!
