It's a nice contrast to the back ground noise of marketing. As if you turned all the ambient music in all the offices and grocery stores and department stores into the same 3 second clip and turned up the volume to 11. Soon enough it will go back to normal. But I hope some people will be a little more cognizant of the presence of marketing in public life.

I wonder what it would be like if all of advertising space were instead filled with affirmations about the human condition, about empathy, about statistical intuition, and about finding cognitive distortions. You know, the opposite of what advertising needs to function. So, totally not possible. But I think it'd be a good idea.
