Conheça Patrick, um trabalhador mais que especial

Patrick é um cara que, desde muito cedo, teve de lidar com uma série de limitações, algumas delas físicas, outras relacionadas com a aprendizagem. Apaixonado por esportes, mas impossibilitado de praticá-los devido a sua condição, ele encontrou uma forma de viver sua paixão de perto. Mas ele também queria ser independente, então aprendeu a dirigir. E a cada novo desafio que surgiu, ele encontrou uma forma de superá-lo.

Essa é parte da história contada pelo próprio Patrick em “Work is a Beautiful Thing: Meet Patrick”, novo comercial do Walmart. Com criação da Saatchi&Saatchi de Nova York e produção da Anonymous Content, o objetivo principal era produzir um filme que fosse ao mesmo tempo inspirador e patriótico. A grande sacada é que a parte do “ser patriótico” aparece naturalmente, sem ser forçada goela abaixo como costuma acontecer.

Como bem observou Tim Nudd da AdWeek, é impossível não notar alguns traços do incrível comercial da Duracell com o jogador Derrick Coleman, que é deficiente auditivo. De qualquer maneira, vale o play e a lição ensinada por Patrick:

“Durante toda a minha vida, as pessoas me disseram que eu tinha uma deficiência de aprendizado. Acho que eles estavam certos… porque eu nunca aprendi a desistir”.

From Adbusters #112: Blueprint for a New World, Part 1: Psycho


Video still of Mark Carney

Anal Retentive Character: One fixed at the infantile level of psychosexual
development, when the libido charges the anus with energy.

People who had problems during this stage later develop “anal” personality traits like orderliness, stubbornness, perfectionism, and an obsessive need for control.

Most of the neoclassically trained economists who have dominated global economic policy-making for the past few generations — from Alan Greenspan to Robert Rubin, Lawrence Summers, Timothy Geithner, Ben Bernanke and now Janet Yellen—have been anal character types (to say nothing of the economic professors and policy analysts around the world). They obsess endlessly over interest rates, money supplies, micro and macro management and quantitative easing strategies — in other words, the ‘excremental’ flows of the global financial system — but to such a degree that they completely miss what’s really going on: namely that climate change is the biggest market failure the world has ever known.
