Also, many consumers consider a critic to be like God Almighty.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I say to consumers: instead of relying totally on critics, drink what you like and like what you drink.
Critics of consumer capitalism like to think that consumers are manipulated and controlled by those who seek to sell them things, but for the most part it's the other way around: companies must make what consumers want and deliver it at the lowest possible price.
I don't mean to criticize anyone in any way that I wouldn't criticize myself. I think people should have fun, and have a good time, and enjoy the luck that we have to be lazy and dwell in consumerism. But I think that it's a balance. And our job as actors is empathy.
I wish all consumers were as gullible as advertising's biggest critics. Anyone who believes advertising is that powerful will believe almost anything.
Especially in the food business, critics take very seriously how much power they have. They can shut a restaurant down.
Few people have the wisdom to prefer the criticism that would do them good, to the praise that deceives them.
It can be demonstrated that in any society there is a distribution of religious tastes and concerns.
I prefer to praise people and the world rather than criticize them and it.
Now everyone is a critic.
A critic is a eunuch working in a harem. He watches it, but he knows he can't do it. Critics very often are failed writers and, like failed priests, they hate religion.
