jour brought to you by materialism convincing you to buy

00:08

new versions of things You already have the market Because

00:14

it rained on the day of the event We were

00:16

left with a plethora of unsold tickets And here the

00:20

potential answers placing your city's fine growth All right well

00:27

when you have a plethora of something you have too

00:29

much of it A fertile family might have a plethora

00:33

of kids Yeah like that Let's start with a scarcity

00:37

A scarcity is when there's not enough of something Now

00:40

if you have a plethora of kids you'll probably have

00:43

a scarcity of money time in basic happiness But too

00:46

much and not enough are complete opposites so we can

00:50

cross scarcity off the list Next up is b supply

00:54

00:56

supplies A stash of stuff you need to get through

01:24

have a plethora of something due to growth but they're

01:27

not quite the same thing And finally there's the excess

01:31

when there's an excess of something there's too much of

01:34

it If you went from hating yourself taking five hundred

01:37

selfies a day you might have an excuse or a

01:40

plethora of self love If taking a selfie means you

01:44

have self love and not an issue with your father

01:46
