All marketing, at it's root, is about satisfying the two human motivators: sex & death.
- JonnieCache 13y agoDon't forget fear of choking on your mother's penis or whatever it is. To really understand Freud I think you probably need a comparably boundless supply of 19th century viennese cocaine.
- normloman 13y agoI'm in marketing. You left a lot of motivators off of the list. Food. Money. Desire to fit in.
- typicalrunt 13y agoFood. Money. Desire to fit in. I beg to differ. Those are all part of sex and death. Without food I will wither away until I die. Without tasty food I will feel like I'm in a living death. Money buys power (consumer power, or what have you) and with that grants you the possibility to expand your genetic profile, just like sex. And the desire to fit in is in the same realm as sex, because we want people to find us desirable so that we can potentially become a mate. I'm stretching and only using male-female desire here, but it's not a great leap to see how male-male desire (not sexual) is just a form of males wanting to become alpha- rather than beta-male to increase attractiveness.
