Ignorant of the existence of some inane bullshit that they don’t actually need, because they haven’t been motivated to look for a solution to a real problem?

Sure! This is exactly where ignorance is bliss.

Modern marketing is just spreading dissatisfaction (sometimes borderline misery) with the false promise of relief through consumerism.

I'm guessing you have strong opinions on what makes something a Real Solution and not just Inane Bullshit I Don't Actually Need

[_tulpa]

No. You just missed the entire point...

I do have strong opinions about exploitation of other humans though, and probably stronger ones about modern mental gymnastics apparatus which lets people justify the whole thing.

When you move to calling it exploitation, and offer no other argument, do you think you're convincing me or yourself?

I think I understand you completely.
