He is ashamed before the blade of grass or the blowing rose.Man postpones or remembers; he does not live in the present, but with reverted eye laments the past, or, heedless of the riches that surround him, stands on tiptoe to foresee the future. He cannot be happy and strong until he too lives with nature in the present, above time

The average person is exposed to over 3000 adds each day. Now for the average person that is subjected to that, their consciousness is having a non ending battle.

Well if you're good at advertising yourself (for business or whatever purpose), then it's a chance for you to test your skills on how YOU can affect people and their minds. For people who don't advertise and the ones being exposed to it, it's a chance for you to test your skills against the advertisement. If you can't win a battle against advertisement, what kind of battle can you win?

I'd hardly say internet ads are ruining my life, and I use the internet a lot.

What sort of subversive ads prompted this?

One time I was on the bus on shrooms and I became aware of just how intrusive the bus ads were on my consciousness. It felt like the words were trying to etch themselves on my brain forever, and I realized how many ads were straight-up DEMANDS, orders and suggestions.

I think ads have more of an effect on us than we think, unless we really choose to avoid them. A good start is not watching TV.

I usually have no interest in advertisement as there's nothing out there that I'm looking for. Most advertisement is stupid anyway, and it's not hard to ignore something that's stupid. You gotta train your brain to simply ignore it or laugh at it (not in a ridicule type way, but more of a laugh of pity for how sad the ads are). If you let yourself get too angry with ads or begin to think there is a conspiracy, then they do start taking control of your life, well, you make the choice to let them effect your life, therefor it was the weakness in you that brought it about. If you let ads effect your life by obeying them, then your just stupid lol :smile:

Does the conscious mind have control over the subconscious? What about the reptile brain? I laugh at ads all the time, and I don't feel like they influence my life - they certainly don't make me angry. It's more the fact that the ads exist at all that is upsetting..

Advertising is not the problem. Greed and materialism is the problem. One could argue that advertising fuels materialism but ultimately it is the person that decides how important material gain is in their lives. If you made some great new invention you wouldn't want to advertise it and let people know about it? Advertising can be annoying but it is not running anybody's life.

Advertising is a necessary part of human life. It's not the problem. The problem that affects advertising is greed and living in a consumer-driven materialistic society.

If you don't watch tv, or buy into american consumerism like I do, you're much more likely to be offended.

Advertising gets more devious all the time.

People really don't need it. They should instead be advertising in an advertisement magazine, that helps shoppers make choices. And put pressure on companies to stop deception in their advertisment.

advertising is good.
It allows things to exist that otherwise wouldn't (or at higher prices) like this site, and most of the internet.
It allows companies to increase sales/profits.

Not to say its not damn annoying in many forms. Got rid of my TV... couldn't stand that crap anymore... too absurd. I felt like I was constantly watching a parody of itself.
