ralfmaximus:What If We Made Advertising Illegal?Even as an advertiser (especially as an advertiser), I am convinced that outlawing advertising is the best thing we can do for our world now. More than gun control. More than tackling climate change. More than lowering the price of eggs.Removing these advanced manipulation tools would force everyone—politicians included—to snap back into reality. By outlawing advertising, the machinery of mass delusion would lose its most addictive and toxic fuel.I started out reading this smugly saying to myself yeah, right.But by the end I’m sold. Let’s ban advertising. We can start small, maybe with city ordinances. Then roll it out county wide, then at the state level. Once other states see how quiet and sane things can be, they’ll adopt the ban too. The ones that don’t will remain snarling islands of rage & delusion until the people move away.Let’s ban advertising.
