I think there's some constructive criticism here, but you haven't really elaborated enough for me to be sure. Perhaps you could drop me an E-Mail to discuss further? @Trisha - I’ve read this comment over several times to make sure I was correctly interpreting what you are saying.

You do bring a good point about being "genuine" in a "genuine world", but I guess I'll have to read Seth's book to really get the point. I still think that a "purple cow" isn't a real cow or else it's just a real cow in disguise, but ultimately it's a metaphor. @Dr. Mani - thanks for your comment.

'Remarkable', in Seth's book, is "worth talking about". If you are 'genuine' in a world of fakes, you are automatically remarkable - just as a purple cow would be remarkable in a world of brown cows. Also, if everyone is 'genuine', then 'genuinity' in and of itself will NOT be remarkable - just as you'd ignore a field full of purple cows - especially if you'd just passed 10 of them on your drive before reaching it! In a cluttered world where attention spans are short, being unremarkable is to be practically INVISIBLE. Shouting to get consumer attention is no longer effective or economical. Being remarkable shortcircuits this limitation - and expands your influence inexpensively. The cost, however, lies in daring to go to the edge! All success Dr.Mani Mark, I don’t think you missed the point, just went at it from another angle.
