2.5.4.4.8. Manipulation and obedience examples made by advertising and marketing
All the benefits of modern civilization are due to technology. Technology has brought really good things to humanity. The Neuroses almost disappeared out of classical western world mainly due to condoms and medicine development, which allowed all sorts of sexual experiences and satisfactions with no fear for an unwanted child burden and no fear for sexually transmitted diseases. As I will closely show in one of the next entries, the morality, the rule of law, the equality of chances and the kindness are due to those machines that replaced old slavery. But the technology did not entirely replace the old slave. It had to change into becoming a leader and supervisor of machines. But the principles of slavery continued until today’s highest civilization in other shapes and other structures. One of them is the psychopathological consumption, the excess consumption as discussed in detail in the previous entry.
Unfortunately, the technology (and the science) can also be used contrary to its evolution. The artistic design means involving lies in the object technological reality. When someone sees a sports car aggressive design, which looks like a bullet, or like a science fiction spacecraft, then, these objects associated with, are overevaluated. Such design forms are used for telling false data to the people. The person that uses the design, for deceiving other people, is also deceived by the neoslavery social system through design by the illusionary satisfaction of standing out on the line. This need of getting out of the order is due to inherited behavior of going to war and constantly threatening other communities with guns retaliation in exchange for their products. Caught in this neoslavery nets, the ordinary contemporary individual often takes this cultural refuge in the warrior phantasm of the conqueror but unconsciously becomes the advertising and marketing "target". Although this person has the illusion of fulfillness and liberations, she/he actually sinks down even more into the neoslavery traps.
