The most successful grift of the modern era was convincing the smartest people in the world that “changing the world” means optimizing the click-through rate on ads for mattresses that ship in a box

@Daojoan Those things are pretty cool though. I love mine. I can even roll it back up and ram it into my sleeper-camper teardrop. The mattresses that came in it are thin and suck.

Who knows. Maybe they COULD save the world. They're pretty inexpensive so it's feasible for someone to actually build a padded room at home with them. You can probably get a discount if you order like 10 or more too.

You don't necessarily know that you need a padded room so this is where marketing can help.
