The lesson here, and my advice for other developers, is to find a way that you can quantify for people what your product is worth.

No one wants to be first, and the auction proved to people that others were buying and gave them that boost of confidence they needed.

I am approached with the most opposite opinions and advice, and that by religious men, who are equally certain that they represent the Divine will. ...

Benedict of Nursia

The disappearance of medial prefrontal activation could explain why so many traumatized people lose their sense of purpose and direction. I used to be surprised by how often my patients asked me for advice about the most ordinary things, and then by how rarely they followed it. Now I understood that their relationship with their own inner reality was impaired.
