I agree. One huge caveat is advertising.
Companies implant desire into human minds, a few implicit examples:
-"If you buy this sports car, women will find you attractive and you will have more sex"
- "Going on this beach vacation will make you happy"
- "Getting this alcoholic beverage will allow you to have fun with your friends"
It's extremely hard to avoid being influenced by ads, for me it's a moral reason to use an adblocker. I want to come with my my own desires, which are mostly not about consumption of products or services offered by for-profit enterprises.
- appleiigs 7y agoThere will always be advertising, fake news, scams... again it's on the consumer to make the difference by not only being aware but to change their behaviour.
