本质上说,这是一种心理现象。亦即“咖啡店幻觉”(coffeeshop fallacy)
什么是咖啡店幻觉?The coffeeshop fallacy is a mismatch between the work one imagines to be involved in a pursuit and the actual day-to-day labour.
It is most common in industries with a strong survival bias which create a fun or desirable product. 也就是说,很多人并不是为了商业目的而开咖啡店、书吧,而是因为喜欢咖啡、书吧的一种或几种元素而开咖啡店、书吧。“好开吗”、“赚钱吗”他们也许想都没想过,甚至认为想这些问题很庸俗。 本来就不是为了“生意”,而是为了“玩意”。What theyactually want is to be a customer and sit in a cafe, drink coffee, be nice to people, and possibly curate an art gallery. 咖啡店幻觉不惟出现在咖啡店,恋爱中的“占有欲”,也可以算其变种。
