More To That

It’s Mainstream to Hate the Mainstream

There‘s nothing unique about defying the status quo

Say hello to Lil’ Jimmy.

Lil’ Jimmy is two years old, and he’s an accomplished minimalist. He’s been able to successfully condense all of life into just three activities: sleeping, eating, and playing.

Lil’ Jimmy enjoys sleeping and eating, but playtime is where the real fun is. And when it comes to this responsibility, his favorite thing in the world is this wondrous toy:

One day, Lil’ Jimmy finds himself in a room with two copies of this amazing thing. This sounds like a dream come true, but there’s something odd about their placement. In between the two toys is a transparent Plexiglass barrier that’s about one foot tall. Fortunately, Lil’ Jimmy is taller than the barrier, so if he ever wants to play with the toy behind the wall, he just needs to reach over the top to grab it.

In this room, Lil’ Jimmy shows no preference for either toy. He plays with them both equally and has the time of his life.

After this funfest, Lil’ Jimmy moves to another room, where two copies of the same toy are revealed once again! He hurriedly rushes over to play with them, but this time, he meets something different. In between the toys is that familiar Plexiglass barrier, but now, it’s two feet tall.
