I don’t think inanimate objects can influence a person’s mind. However media can, especially when you see the same idea repeated everywhere.

- iszomer 5y agoIt can when materialistic quality is a factor in purchasing decisions. For example, I recently had to buy a new rice cooker and based on my prior experiences of owning both Japanese and Chinese brands; the former outlasted the latter by thirty years. Just because it was cheap and easily sourceable doesn't discount expected quality assurances. I'm not saying this applies to all Chinese made products but something I keep in mind for all future purchases.
- pokepim 5y agoFor one, chinese made Teslas are superior in quality to American ones. So looks like you are right, not every chinese product should be seen as inferior to japanese or even American.
- pmontra 5y agoIf you always buy from A instead of from B, whoever they are, you start enjoying a familiarity with A that you don't have with B. Then, not about minds but about money, you are helping A with your money instead of helping B and A eventually becomes more powerful than B.
