I highly recommend The Century of the Self by Adam Curtis. I feel it should be required viewing for anyone above the age of 15 so that they may be better mentally equipped in this world. It is a four hour look at this very topic of manipulation for the purpose of advertising and propaganda. Please do take the time to watch and share this information with others.
Now, forearmed with the knowledge that the human brain can be gamed, and how to defend against it, people have a choice to spread the word and make no moneys, or walk around gaming other people’s brains and make a lot of moneys, you realize a lot of people chose the latter path years and years ago, and that’s why we’re at where we’re at today.
