When I was a toddler, that is, as angry as I am now, but in a sweet and forgiving way, our family took a trip across Sweden. I was reading the road signs as a way to pass the time. This in retrospect helped prepare me for a brilliant career in scientific research, but I digress… What surprised me was that everywhere in Sweden there were road signs showing the way to a city called “Center”. I thought that the “Center” was the most influential city in Sweden like Washington, DC or Hollywood, California, or we drove around, not an unexpected theory or given by a designated driver/sailor team (my parents). I dismissed the idea that Sweden has a 4D hypercube topology as very strange. No need to send me a reply, I’ll get it later, okay?
But there is one thing that confuses me. Sometimes I hear these 30 second commercials on the radio where a happy guy/girl explains that “everyone loves to eat at Olive Garden” or “everyone wants to shop at Macy’s” or “everyone deserves a vacation in Table Rock, Wyoming” (82 people) which I’m sure they do.
However, I cannot for the love of Table Rock, Wyoming find out who this “everyman” person is. I’ve never heard “everyone deserves to retire before they’re 40”, “everyone wants to start a ROTH IRA at Scottrade”, or “everyone needs to save 50% of their income”. Maybe these things are hard to say in a calm voice? Hmm .. “Yes, everyone needs to save 50% of their salary to retire before they turn 40, yes!”. I’ve been practicing! It’s going to be really hard, but I’m sure I’ll get it
