Pretty good statement.
This is an advertisement of sorts though isn’t it?
Except it's not out on a billboard or on tv, and you can just as easily not read it.
The advertising industry is based on the fact that, nearly everyone who has a surplus of money in the developed world, already has everything that humans really reasonably need. So they have to create needs and reasons or people to feel unhappy, in order that the people paying them, can pose as the solvers of the problems that did not really exist, (bit like politics). The main product of the advertising industry therefore is unhappiness, and they are very good at producing it.
True.
...wouldn’t have been my choice or advice, but with a daughter having double-majored in advertising & marketing.. So far, so good. I help edit her positive blogs, of course encouraging the use of ‘her companies’ product. The degree now include a class on ethics, one she’s happy to bring up during any ‘campaign.’
