Pens

20 Oct, 2024

I like pens, they are low maintenance, have a relatively long shelf life, require no external energy source, and easy to manufacture.

Pens, are a perfected product, like the calculator, or A4 paper.
Sure, one may say they are reinventing I where $I\in PerfectedProducts$ But except of fancy packaging, it wouldn't differ by much.

Pens can't really be marketed, the "sell me this pen" cliche exists, but is more of an heuristic, let P be a pen's price, $(i-j{)}^2<ϵ$ for all $i,j$ where $Pi=Pj$.

In a world where everything is a subscription, forks become independent companies, and full of copycats, perfected products, like the pen, are a breath of fresh hair.
