| The early theorists of capitalism didn't imagine that advanced psychology (that didn't even exist back then) would be used to convince people to buy $product. Messages of that sophistication are always dangerous, and modern advertising is the most widespread example of it. The hostility is more than justified, I can only hope the whole industry is regulated downwards, even if whatever company I work for sells less. |
