I see marketing and advertising more as an inevitable part of the human environment we have created.
Then, you have been sold a bill of goods and should resist ;). One which i, to a very large extent, ignore most all of the time. Would you ignore a mugging or preventable accident?..
Do you think it a fair fight where society allows powerful corps to employ Armies of Lawyers and Marketers Billions of dollars To pry open simple minds, civil institutions, etc,.. ?
Just another way of saying one has to be vigilant to use their critical thinking skills Being bombarded u may be shell shocked ;).
