Attack Ads! questions the dominance of media supported mainly by the corrupting influence of commercial advertising sponsorship, and aims to raise both awareness and outrage at the limitations such a system produces.

Has anyone ever wondered what might happen if untruths both large and small continue to be used by people to sell shit, perhaps in diabolical ways, and "increase engagement"? Actually, several have, years ago. And now we
In this Bonus Episode I read excerpts from former President Theodore Roosevelt's 1910 Commencement Address to the graduates and staff of the Sorbonne in France (referred to by some as the "Man In The Arena" speech). Find
I completely realize that my insistence on correcting other people's mistakes is a complete mistake on my part. Still. I do it. For me, forget about capital, and concentrate on usufruct. It's something I do here in this
Modern advertising and military propaganda efforts share quite a few common elements. How many they share should surprise and even shock us all. I explore this topic in this Episode 282: Many Voices Make Lies Work. Find
Using computers that can more or (mostly) less function as if they were "intelligent" is all the rage today, especially in business. Why hire a person when a machine can do the job? Others are goofing around with these m
Definitions can be difficult sometimes, especially when the word you are floundering to define doesn't really have a concrete definition, but rather a multitude of different applications and associations. It's best then
Categorizing certain things is important. Over-categorizing them, though, can be more damaging to one's understanding than not categorizing things at all. Lately, I've realized that categorizations have impeded understan
I've mentioned before that advertising often takes advantage of those it targets psychologically, triggering latent vulnerabilities in all of us. Maybe it's more than just psychology, though, that makes ads tick. I explo
Sometimes, the difference between entertainment between two countries is profound due to cultural differences. Today, I'd like to suggest that there are differences well beyond culture that affect two peoples, even those
For reasons I hope to make clear soon, advertising is not foremost on my mind right now. I made a realization that a great change will quite possibly befall us, and… I have no idea when. To understand my thinking on this
What's that phrase? One step forward, two steps back? For every positive step our society takes, it seems there are invisible forces trying to drag every step in a quite negative direction. I'll explore one example of ju
I never cease to be amazed at how bad some corporate decisions are… until I finally figure out why those bad decisions were probably the best way for the company to make more money. I explore one revelation concerning my
There are far more thinkers whose writings can explain phenomena better than most; but thanks to ruthless historical suppression, those thinkers are not even considered. I'd like to frame a few economic problems many of
Just in case you don't get enough advertising in the privacy and sanctuary of your home, good news! Refrigideezers will soon show you ads on a screen on the door! It's true! I react to this silliness in this Episode 271:
I lately find myself dwelling on not the existence of new technology, but on questions about how we humans should treat it. After all, nothing in our cultures or languages has evolved to accommodate, for one example, ASo
Every so often, a book emerges that gets a lot of buzz from the media and gets tongues wagging. Sadly, too often those books say things that stretch credulity to the breaking point and start to smell a lot like a massive
While most of us have heard of the Sherman Act, few have savored Senator John Sherman's speech to the Senate in defense of that act. Today, I present to you my reading of an edited version of that speech, in this Bonus E
Monopolies are nothing new. Government allowing companies to merge and acquire and metastasize into monopolies, though, that is relatively new. The ideas that support monopolies come from a handful of jerks supported by
Propaganda is not just a thing that happens in the here and now. Dig well enough, and you might find old institutional knowledge that started originally as a conspiratorial plot designed to sway society. Make such propag
