"Two Kinds of Cool" by Nutnfancy
67
This video by Nutnfancy discusses the concept of "two kinds of cool" when evaluating everyday carry items, including cars, guns, and knives. The first kind of cool is objective performance within its category, which the reviewer aims to scrutinize with data. The second kind of cool is subjective enjoyment, an intrinsic satisfaction the owner derives from an item, which can sometimes override performance considerations. The video also touches on "brand myopia," an unhealthy obsession with a specific brand to the exclusion of others, and encourages open-minded research to find items that balance both performance and enjoyment.
