Marketing is even worse than you think
Marketing is mass confusion
Marketing is mass brain-washing
Marketing is mass delusion
Marketing is mass hysteria
Marketing only works because you are confused
When you don’t know what you want — marketing tells you what to want
When you can’t decide what is the right choice — marketing decides for you
Marketing works because you are confused
It replaces your confusion with delusion
It replaces your confusion with fucking delusion
We run around intoxicating ourselves with marketing
You market to me and I market to you
We believe our own nonsense
You believe you need this, I believe I need that
And the monster continues fuelling itself on itself
It’s an obvious impediment in one’s quest for clarity
You are doomed before you even started
Before you grab everything the marketing told you is “valuable” — you will already be rotting in the fucking ground
This is why marketing is even worse than you think
We think it’s benign — we think it’s merely part of business
When in truth it’s such an obvious lie, obvious self-delusion, obvious escapism, obvious distraction
We’re deluding ourselves about deluding ourselves
We’re deluding ourselves about deluding ourselves
You know you don’t NEED this, need that
Information about the product or service should be available, obviously yes… but it’s MARKETING which is obscuring that information, rather than revealing it
The truth about something’s utility is buried under million adds, million sales pitches, million sales funnels, million greasy salesmen and million disgusting scams
We’re deluding ourselves about deluding ourselves
You believe you’re doing something substantial — because MARKETING washed your brain into thinking that
You believe the world needs this and that
The world believes it needs this and that
And we’re all rotting before we even realise what we did to ourselves
If you have any interest in truth — than obviously you must dispense with all the untruth
All the white-lies and exaggerations and hopes
This is the shocking realization: marketing really will brainwash you, separate you from reality, separate you from the truth
Therefore get rid of it
Avoid adds like like the plague
And never ever speak untruth, never ever exaggerate, never ever oversell
Falsehood always corrodes, in the long term: both the perpetrator and the victim
