Unless you're a hermit living in an ice cave, you're already conditioned to like certain things. Trends. Even the hermit is probably conditioned to like certain climate or aesthetics by the way he's lived.

The important thing is for people to understand what they need to achieve in life and make their decisions around it. Including tools purchase such as these.... whether it's just a conscious leisure spending or work tool or a combination of both or whatever...

Conscious, self aware sheeps are okay in my book. As long as they're aware of the condition. There's no real need to trailblaze your own way (is there really such thing nowadays?) just for its own sake.
