### *Processed Output with System 1 and System 2 Thinking:*

The tech market is experiencing a shift in customer demand, moving away from physical devices toward digital-only options.

[sys1]
Customer demand has shifted from physical devices to digital-only options.
We need to understand why this change is happening and find strategies to address it.
Key factors may include cost, convenience, and technological trends.
[end sys1]

[sys2]
**2.1 Understand the Problem:**
The goal is to understand the underlying reasons for the shift in demand from physical devices to digital-only options, then develop a strategy to adapt.

*Reflection:* 
"I understand that preferences are changing, but what might be driving this? Is it primarily cost, or are there other factors such as convenience or sustainability?"

*Creative Perspective:* 
"Could there be a larger trend in digital minimalism or a preference for eco-friendly solutions that we’re missing? What unseen motivations might explain this shift?"

**2.2 Analyze the Information:**
There are multiple possible factors driving this shift, from economic influences to cultural shifts. It’s essential to isolate each factor and understand its impact.

*Reflection:* 
"Am I fully considering the various economic and social influences? Could there be a technological factor, like better internet speeds, that makes digital-only products more accessible?"

*Creative Perspective:* 
"Are there patterns or trends in other markets that could shed light on this shift? Could this be part of a larger trend toward virtual experiences?"

**2.3 Generate Hypotheses:**
1. Customers prefer digital options due to lower costs. (Confidence: 0.8, Creative: 0.4)
2. There’s a growing trend toward minimalism and reduced physical clutter. (Confidence: 0.7, Creative: 0.7)
3. Digital products offer greater flexibility and ease of use. (Confidence: 0.6, Creative: 0.6)

I don’t give two flying rat behinds that this isn’t about gaming news. This is a rare moment where someone on network television dropped a few red pills for the perpetually blinded masses and their ideological hooded cloaks they wear to keep from facing reality. What am I talking about? I’m talking about the Sports Center segment that every uncultured snowflake, Liberal, and Social Justice Warrior needs to listen to in order to wake up from the slumber that keeps them asleep on Left’s political plantation fields.

Scott Van Pelt from SportsCenter dropped some truth bombs in a recent two minute tirade against the snowflake culture that is ruining the backbone of America’s stature and crushing the confidence we have in Western values. It’s two minutes of pure, unadulterated criticisms of this mollycoddle culture cultivated by the Cultural Marxists on the Left and the Social Justice Warrior-defending Centrists in the middle. Pelt lays it all on the line to ensure that no matter what field you’re in, what occupation you hold, or what political line you toe, you need to stop being a weak-minded, low-confidence, adversity-averse crybaby and man up!

The calmly spoken and intonational exposition was rolled out by Pelt in rebuttal to all the SJWs flooding social media to condemn college basketball coach Tom Izzo for verbally putting a player into place. Pelt explains that sometimes it’s through tough love and a correction for failure that we learn how to overcome the obstructions we encounter in life. You can view the clip below that was posted up on March 24th, 2019, which has almost garnered a million views.

“Stop being offended by things that don’t concern you.”@notthefakeSVP shared his thoughts on the conversation around Tom Izzo yelling at one of his players. pic.twitter.com/OavnFa3zKB — SportsCenter (@SportsCenter) March 24, 2019

If you’re unable to view the clip (or if it gets taken down for rolling out the truth), Scott Van Pelt says…

“This isn’t about snowflakes being soft. It is about a gigantic problem we’ve allowed to happen in society, but go out of our way to ensure it gets worse. People seem to have a real issue if they’re held accountable or if others are too harsh. We’re so concerned with how someone’s feelings might get hurt, we lose sight of this fact: Life is has a scoreboard, the world will be difficult, and we do nobody any favors when we coddle them to the point where they never hear criticism, or a harsh word, or have to face any adversity. Because when nobody in a job interview or negotiations stops to ask about your feelings and then you don’t get the job, or you don’t get the contract, what are you going to do? Demand the world stop being mean to you? “The college admission scandal is a great example of this. They say you should prepare your kids for the path, not the path for your kids. You cannot eliminate every challenge or adversity they might face. ‘Cause if you do, what have you accomplished? “We’re so concerned with safe spaces and not saying mean things that when a coach gets on a player it’s seen by some of you as out of bounds. And that is insane to me. Is that the only way to get your point across? No. You can go about it differently. But you notice who didn’t have a problem with it? Michigan State [University]. “Did you notice what [the players] did? They told Izzo, ‘We got this’. Because they have a voice. They’ve been empowered in a family dynamic that occasionally gets volatile – because there’s a scoreboard and they’re trying to win. “You know who else didn’t have a problem with [Tom Izzo’s yelling]? The freshman, who was getting the what for, Aaron Henry. His social media as well as the accounts of past Spartans, like Miles Bridges and Draymond Green, and countless other Spartans gave insights into why they didn’t and don’t have a problem with it. But that doesn’t matter to people who don’t really want context, they just want to be mad and be offended. “So, be good and mad about how Tom Izzo yelled at his players. His players, past and present, have a rare loyalty to him. He doesn’t have a transfer problem, he has the opposite – a bunch of four-year guys, the overwhelming majority of whom have gotten to final fours and in part because of being held accountable the way he holds them accountable. “You don’t like it? Fine. Don’t send your kid there. But stop being offended by things that don’t concern you. Because they’re not.”

You can also view the segment on YouTube in case you’re visually impaired and the tweet is no longer accessible.

Either which way, Pelt makes it clear that the culture of crybabies and the padding of opinions and expression done in consideration for snowflakes and safe-space dwellers isn’t helping anyone. In fact, it’s doing the opposite. It’s degrading America’s resolve to become hardened and steeled through the challenge of adversity.

Social Justice Warriors have run roughshod over nearly every aspect of Western culture, completely emasculating comic books and video games, and turning many testosterone-driven franchises in entertainment media into effeminate agitprop.

Thankfully, every once in a blue moon we’ll have someone in a position to speak to the masses rain down some much needed common sense and criticisms of the Leftist’s agenda to destroy our nation by turning everyone into weak, pitiful, crying sods and worthless cretins.

As many people pointed out in the comment section on the YouTube video, this looks especially bad when a converged Disney-owned network like ESPN – the same network that had Capcom tell players not to pick default outfits for certain female characters in Street Fighter V during the Top 8 at EVO because thongs were a huge no-go – has a host telling the masses that they’re too freaking soft. I doubt it will change many minds, but at least Social Justice Warriors are finally getting called out more frequently than before.
