    Given this technology of persuasion (advertising). A technology that is insanely powerful (so powerful that convincing literally everybody of literally anything is a power that is comfortably within our grasp). What would it look like if everybody was persuaded to believe some total bullshit?

      We’re living in an age of demagoguery, I don’t know why you wouldn’t use that metaphor instead of the relatively harmless advertising, it’s much more important and you can look around and see what it’s like.
