So I am driving in my car yesterday from Tampa to Orlando which is like a 2 hour trip and I am sitting there listening to music on 106.7 and 107.1 h and its just the same exact music coming on song after song its either Lady Gaga or some other ultra feminine not so straight guy singing about hooking up with girls.
Like most other times in my life I start thinking about the job of the On Air Radio DJ and how similar it is to the job of a Doctor. The DJ’s job to play the music that is making him/her money right now. So if Lady Gaga’s record labels pays “X” amount of dollars to play a song then he/she will play that song and make it “hot” cause that what DJ’s do they make songs “hot”. He/She is the middleman between you and the music and he/she prescribes to you but what you should be listening to.
The DJ in turn is no different than a Doctor. A doctor will prescribe to you the drugs that he is getting paid to push out from Drug Companies . His job is to make those Drugs hot and popular. Just like the DJ on the radio made Lady Gaga hot,the Doctor made Adderall hot.
Everybody knows doctor is cool because we all know the doctor makes money from both the consumer for prescribing the drug and the drug company on the back end. He has ultimate social proof because he went to Medical School for years and years and not to be stereotypical but he happens to be either Brown or Jewish and according to our society those guys know everything.
In turn, the DJ is cool because he plays music and gets laid all the time and I mean who wouldn’t want that job to play music and get laid all the time so he has superior social proof. In essence, that is the logical reasoning on why we listen to both the DJ and the Doctor mainly because of their ultimate social proof.
Point of the matter there is no difference between the two professions.
Have you ever thought about what life would be like without “names”? It would not be much different than life currently. So today I am sitting at Ember Bar in downtown Orlando drinking a glass of crappy wine just observing social interaction between Ann the bartender and some dude ordering a drink. Random dude starts trying to start conversation with the bartender and she is not listening to any of the words coming out his mouth but miraculously she seems to grasp the drink he orders. The dude on the other hand is busy multi-tasking, he is staring at her boobs and talking out his ass about how they might have went to high school together. She does her best to avoid all the social confrontation yet at the same time still seems interesting enough in the dude to swindle a nice tip out of him. At the end of the conversation the pair exchanged names in which I could almost guarantee that 3 minutes later if tested both would forget each other’s name. If you asked the two people in the case study how each would be remembered by each other, the dude would remember the bartender as quote on quote “sexy bartender” and the girl would remember the guy as “creepy dude”. So I ask what is the essential purpose of a “name” other than a label?
In the greater percentage of time we just remember people by the size of their boobs, the cars they drive or the really weird growth on their lips and we refer back to them in our mind by these unique characteristics. These also serve as labels.
On top of that there is several other ways to characterize people such as by the amount they weigh, the paleness of their size, their race, religion or just the easiest way which is by the way they smell. Why can’t we just be honest with people and refer to them as to what they portray themselves as during interaction?
President Palin is a trending topic on twitter, something just smells fishy and its not one of Mrs.Palin’s body parts!
