Good video, thanks for sharing.
Brief synopsis:
Guy dials in and exposes in THEIR©️ terms what is happening/has happened in online advertising and it’s socialogical rammifications.
I was a social media advisor for small and upcoming businesses through the very first company in the market that did so. My startup quickly was gobbled up by a fortune 500 company.
What I saw in the years 2017 through 2021 disgusted me. Yuval harrari, when he says, “free will is over,” is not wrong from his tech overlord perspective. Only a few of us out here have the capacity to don the “they live” glasses.
Mastering the arts of persuasion, deception… can only come from one place—the father of lies. Advertising and marketing are now euphemisms for mind control.
From Edward Bernays’ “Propaganda” to the modern industries of data analysis, algorithmically controlled predictive behavior tools, and AI “nudges” customizable to the user—midwits now have no discernible judgement, and can easily be led to perform actions they would not otherwise do.
Even deodorant commercials in the 80’s and 90’s used “trauma based social engineering.” The message: “You stink… and if you don’t… you could, and the people whom you wish to be attracted to you (for business or personal reasons) will find you repulsive if you stink. Wouldn't that be traumatic if you missed an opportunity to breed or make money with said person? The solution is simple, buy this $4 stick of endocrine disrupting cancer and dementia inducing chemicals.”
But this guy will teach you the insider tricks and nomenclature.
Even an “expert” on these matters, and major shill, Chase Hughes admitted in a podcast he buys a ton of shit from instagram ads and he’s helpless against it.
Food for thought.
Be careful out there, fellow netizens.
Skip to 25:50 for a quick summary— He’s talking about dead internet theory as a summation of the ideas explained prior.
Abraham aka ab (father) raham (multitude)...aka the lie that there can be more than one. The first falsification tempts one to ignore first (singularity) for more than (multitude).
First implies all perceivable > second implies each ones perception...any suggestion by another represents a multitude shaped by ones consent to it.
Ignoring natural (perception) for artificial (suggestion) persuades one to deceive self into slavery to another master.
The real master of ones FREE will of choice implies the DOM-inance of all balance...only within balance can there be choice. It's the one and only master who sets ones choice free from one another, which consenting to any suggestion reverts.
The propagated (ones perception) cannot hold onto propagation (all perceivable)...choosing to hold onto propaganda (anything suggested) tempts one to ignore that.
Input (all perceivable) delineates mind (ones perception)...consenting to any suggestion tempts one to hold onto one side while turning (vertise) the mind (ment) against (ad) the other.
Being implies WANT (life) within NEED (inception towards death), which makes it impossible for want to hold onto need. Alas...holding onto one another turns WANT against NOT WANT.
As long as one holds onto whatever one want or not wants, one confines self mentally (logic) and physically (reason) within a circle.
Aka stuck within a circle of wanting vs not wanting whatever has been advertised to him.
Wanting or not wanting "always Coca Cola" or "that's what I like" (Pepsi) tempts ones mind to ignore need aka THIRST, which isn't a circle, but a line of progression, which generates a force multiplier if ignored.
As long as you are stuck within a mental (logic) or physical (reason) circle...the natural line of progression acts as a force multiplier upon the artificial circle.
It's not about only online ads. It is about any ads.
There is a very simple principle - if something heavily advertised, that means money, that could have been spent on better components was thrown into ads. Things with lot of ads will always have lower quality than same things for same price but without ads.
Advertising is an integral part of modern shit-oriented economy. It is used to program recipient that a product is not a shit, but something necessary and useful. To replace actual properties of a product with virtual, imaginary ones in the brain of recipient, with the ultimate goal to completely divert a potential buyer from any questions about product itself.
Modern economy does not even sell products, it sells imaginary feeling of how good you will feel and look in own eyes and eyes of others while owning advertised product. And it absolutely does not matter what product really is.
However, modern online marketplaces throw a brick into that advertising house made of glass. More and more people began to read customer reviews and comments for the item before purchaising and gladly share their opinions with others. Shit-oriented economy strikes back, spending advertising money on false reviews and comments on marketplaces, but it is easily detected. And no, so called AI™ is unable to properly mimic as real people in that area.
YES ADVERTS POWERFUL ON MIND
