5. KENNA’S DILEMMA
1. In the cases of Kenna’s music and the Aeron chair we see that
first impressions can often lead us astray. What we initially judge as
disapproval may just be a case of confusion or mistrust for
something new and different. How can we distinguish a decision
motivated by fear of the unknown from the ones that stem from
genuine dislike towards something? Are we better off leaving it to
the experts to tell us what we should like?
2. What if we have personal investment in the new product or
person? Can we or how do we separate our emotional involvement
from our intuitive judgment?
3. Do you believe our unconscious reactions come out of a locked
room that we can’t ever truly see inside? Can we ever know
ourselves wholly and understand the motivation and reason behind
our every move? If an individual claims to completely know how
their mind works, are they incredibly self-aware or just delusional?
And if we can’t totally get behind that locked door and fully ‘know’
why we react the way we do, is psychiatry an over-priced and
limited exercise?
