This view depends on accepting the idea that advertising of all forms really does poison the mind and is a universal evil.

But that idea in itself is, in my opinion, an extremist one.

The act of informing someone else about something is baked into the social nature of our species. Without it there is no specialization, we are all creatures living alone as nomads focused on subsistence and survival.

All you to do is watch monkeys teach each other how to use tools. That was basically an advertisement, a transfer of knowledge about a “product.”

Then you have to consider ads that save lives and help society like public service ads for seatbelts, anti-littering, child seats, etc.

Also, rich people see ads. They’re just different ads. Go to a yacht show in Monaco and you’ll see ads.
