That could imply that humans are very low dimensional, such that a habit of not listening to doctors immediately carries over into their product design habits. Have you found this to be the case about humans? I personally haven't. I've experienced humans to be highly complex and multi layered, often applying different concepts and world views to different domains. In some areas they are driven by fear, in other areas by curiosity or perfectionism.
- iamerroragent 4y agoI've worked hand-in-hand with technologly static religiously devout Amish. They listen to their doctor.
- peteradio 4y agoSo would you take advice from Amish person about iphones?
- smoldesu 4y agoHonestly, it might be a nice change of pace.
- iamerroragent 4y agoHow is that appropriately analogous? Do you go to your doctor for advice about iPhones? Ironically I did learn how to get a dead engine to start via an Amish mechanic (he ran a business repairing generators for his community)
- peteradio 4y agoYou've established a general reason to mistrust a person but then bring up the Amish for no apparent reason. What do the Amish have to do with this thread besides that they apparently always trust doctors (which I doubt is generally true)?
- iamerroragent 4y agoPoint is that even groups we often associate with backwards thinking still will do the reasonable thing like caring about their health and listening to medical professionals.
- peteradio 4y agoSo, excepting for their strict doctor standards they are otherwise quite backwards thinking (according to you)? So I again can't quite tell what the Amish have to do with this and whether they should generally be trusted. Sure on the doctor metric they excel, but is there any other standard by which you would characterize a peoples standards of opinion?
- iamerroragent 4y agoAre you sincerely suggesting that Amish, to the general American population, are not considered backwards thinking when it comes to technology and dress?
- crossroadsguy 4y agoSeeing what people who design and make iPhones have been doing to iPhones of late, oh yes!

- manmal 4y agoThat’s because listening to a doctor is not a great way of measuring reasonability.
