I buy therefore I am

    My most opulent, and possibly most frivolous, stationery purchase to date has to be my Rotring 600. An encapsulation of German precision and an obsession with perfection, this drafting pencil was my stationary everything when I started.

    Made with a solid brass barrel, the knurled steel grip sits comfortably in my hand. The heft of the Rotring provided stability to my writing - a consequence of its integrated counterweights.

But passable wasn’t Rotring, designed perfectly for professionals and engineers alike.

When I first read this piece, the point that caught my eye wasn’t exposing subliminal sexism in society, or the upending of the biological pattern, but rather the application of signaling the piece brought up.      Signaling, a concept I’ve discussed on this blog before, is the idea that anytime two people interact, they enter into a contract. In the contract, you’re either the agent (the person trying to sell something) or the principal (the person looking to buy something). Applying this to Tanner’s example in the conference setting, each person entered a contract with the other. Economically speaking, it’s advantageous to “mark” each person, as both ...
