Decoy-effect: how do marketing specialists make people see what they want?


In marketing texts, the first image is important. That thing wakes people's interest. And makes a person want to open the marketing material. The main problem with the marketing material is simple. How to make people look at them? And how to make them buy the products that are maximizing the profit. 

So the first image wakes up interest. But also, the last image, and last words have an important role. They are the things that remain in memory. 

One thing that marketing people use when they manipulate our senses is the so-called decoy effect. The decoy effect means. That a certain product in the line raised above others.

Marketing people can make that thing by spotting light on that product. Like in the image above this text. The light is spotted at the door in the middle of the row. And that makes it easier to find. The person would choose that door where is light above it rather than other doors. 


The second image is a series of coffee cups. The last one is the largest. And the idea is that when the person sees the last cup. The image of the largest cup remains in mind. And brains believe that the price per liter is lower in the largest cup in the series. 

The last thing in the line is the largest cup. And that adjusts the brain to think about the last thing in the line. The customer says easily the "large cup". 


One of the versions of the decoy effect is the series of prices. 


Product A: Price 1,50 and quality rate 40%

Product B: Price 5,60 and quality rate 90%


The idea is that person buys a quality. Quality is the thing that concerns everybody. 


But what if the product is something like beer or ice cream? 

This example is straight from ScitechDaily. 

Beer A, which costs $1.80 and has a quality rating of 50

Beer B, which costs $2.60 and has a quality rating of 70



Could there be the bad beer? The idea is that the people are starting to look at the last numbers. And they will pay the extra price for the quality. 

Or 

Product A: Price 1,50 and quality 40%

Product B: Price 3,50 and quality 80% and the limited edition

When deciding between multiple choices of products or services, being aware of the decoy effect could help you make better choices. (ScitechDaily/When deciding between multiple choices of products or services, being aware of the decoy effect could help you make better choices)



The idea of those prices is to make people think that they must be hurry if they want to try that special product. 


The last thing is important. That thing remains in the mind of the lead. The last thing also wipes other memories out of the mind. So the person sees the quality in the last. And people want to buy high-quality products. The thing is that brains forget that the high quality of those products costs money. The higher price means many times good quality. 

Western people normally read from left to right and the last thing that person sees is the largest cup. So when a person goes to cash the thing that comes to mind is the large coffee. When some option is above others. That makes it seem better. The purpose of the decoy effect is to put people to see things that the marketer wants.

The LK-99 could be a fundamental advance even if it cannot reach superconductivity in 400K.

The next step in superconducting research is that LK-99 was not superconducting at room temperature. Or was it? The thing is that there is needed more research about that material. And even if it couldn't reach superconductivity in 400K that doesn't mean that material is not fundamental. And if LK-99 can maintain its superconductivity in 400K that means a fundamental breakthrough in superconducting technology.  The LK-99 can be hype or it can be the real thing. The thing is, anyway, that high-voltage cables and our electric networks are not turning superconducting before next summer. But if we can change the electric network to superconducting by using some reasonable material. That thing can be the next step in the environment. Superconductors decrease the need to produce electricity. But today cooling systems that need lots of energy are the thing that turn superconductors that need low temperatures non-practical for everyday use.  When the project begins there is lots of ent

Black holes, the speed of light, and gravitational background are things that are connecting the universe.

 Black holes, the speed of light, and gravitational background are things that are connecting the universe.  Black holes and gravitational waves: is black hole's singularity at so high energy level that energy travels in one direction in the form of a gravitational wave.  We normally say that black holes do not send radiation. And we are wrong. Black holes send gravitational waves. Gravitational waves are wave movement or radiation. And that means the black holes are bright gravitational objects.  If we can use water to illustrate the gravitational interaction we can say that gravitational waves push the surface tension out from the gravitational center. Then the other quantum fields push particles or objects into a black hole. The gravitational waves push energy out from the objects. And then the energy or quantum fields behind that object push them into the gravitational center.  The elementary particles are quantum fields or whisk-looking structures. If the gravitational wave is

The CEO of Open AI, Sam Altman said that AI development requires a similar organization as IAEA.

We know that there are many risks in AI development. And there must be something that puts people realize that these kinds of things are not jokes. The problem is how to take control of the AI development. If we think about international contracts regarding AI development. We must realize that there is a possibility that the contract that should limit AI development turns into another version of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. That treaty didn't ever deny the escalation of nuclear weapons. And there is a big possibility that the AI-limitation contracts follow the route of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.  The biggest problem with AI development is the new platforms that can run every complicated and effective code. That means the quantum computer-based neural networks can turn themselves more intelligent than humans. The AI has the ultimate ability to learn new things. And if it runs on the quantum-hybrid system that switches its state between binary and quantum states,
