Made in China

Wonder about the true relevancy of chineese outsourcing. How much does one save by having to have “made in china” on their products? Is there some sort of China Factor that one can multiply by to derive just how much cheaper something would be if it was made in China? Does China know this number? Wonder if they advertise it. I can see it now — “You could save up to 60%! Outsource your bakery to China today!”

Wonder who China outsources to?

incredulously relevant

Working on a post-modern societal theory of relevancy. Hope to find out, if possible, how we quantify relevancy.

Rule One: relevancy is of the individual perspective

Rule Two: infinite relevancy exists only in conditions in which no alternatives exist

Rule Three: Somethings’ ‘universal-relevancy’ increases as more individuals choose to recognize it as a pertinent alternative to something else.

Next development: are things of equal relevancy, according to the 3 laws, able to be unequal in regards to relevancy, and if so, how does one quantify these differences?

Example: This video, while questionable, has increasing universal relevancy. Yet, this video is anything but relevant, or at least shouldn’t be. It appeals to a very base audience with racy themes and a mild yet catchy tune — it even has it’s own designated URL.

Video (Probs NSFW) –> “Get On My Horse”

Questions brought up by this video:
How can this be relevant? If it is indeed relevant, is it just as relevant as say some trendy out-of-character political clip? Is it more relevant than a Barnes & Noble Nook?

Streaming Relevancy

Thought about posting more — perhaps doing a daily  post.

Question: So what the deal with indulgences?  Do they have a counter part?

Inspiration:

Major Lazer – “Keep It Goin’ Louder” from Downtown Music on Vimeo.
