Advertisers And Marketers Should Be Looking To

Funding A Civilization Through Advertising Is Like Trying To Get Nutrition By Connecting A Tube From One’s Anus To One’s Mouth.

Here’s A Current Example Of The Challenge We Face. At The Height Of Its Power, The Photography Company Kodak Employed More Than 140,000 People And Was Worth $28 Billion. They Even Invented The First Digital Camera. But Today Kodak Is Bankrupt, And The New Face Of Digital Photography Has Become Instagram. When Instagram Was Sold To Facebook For A Billion Dollars In 2012, It Employed Only Thirteen People. Where Did All Those Jobs Disappear To? And What Happened To The Wealth That All Those Middle-class Jobs Created?

I Fear That We Are Beginning To Design Ourselves To Suit Digital Models Of Us, And I Worry About A Leaching Of Empathy And Humanity In That Process.

Governments Oppress People, But So Do Mobs. You Need To Avoid Both To Make Progress.

If You Want To Know What's Really Going On In A Society Or Ideology, Follow The Money. If Money Is Flowing To Advertising Instead Of Musicians, Journalists, And Artists, Then A Society Is More Concerned With Manipulation Than Truth Or Beauty.
