Absolutely agree with the above and upvoted. We all have to stop focusing on the short term quarterly profits and growth and zoom out and see the big picture.

Not only is software eating the world, but it's appropriating it for a low kind of social programming--turning us all into zombies. Software wants to mediate all of our experiences as humans, and advertising is right there with it, trying to interpose to do, as you wrote, "psychic violence" in little drips throughout our daily lives. It's amazing that we let our minds be run by the shit in computers. (including all of this! haha!)
