“Did Adam and Eve Have Belly Buttons?”
With millions afflicted with Covid brain and advertising’s continuous machine-gunning scraps, this headline epitomizes the current average, particularly States-side with its Q-Anon ex-prez and sick, evil GOP politicians.
Advertising’s omnipresent mantra remains ‘Sell-sell-sell’ and it has thoroughly taken over and corrupted the Internet and e-air waves. As Sven Birkerts pointed out, anyone who has been so thoroughly brainwashed by the culture, cannot say “No”, and so most people in the culture continue to be defined by how much they consume as a justification for their “quiet desperation” (Thoreau) existences.
Just sayin’.
