The Deep Problem Of Marketing

Jeremie says:

Each time you make research to grow intellectually yourself, do you read books randomly or you research information about the books you could read ?

This is such an IMPORTANT subject, I am so happy you decided to do this video Leo! For years I have been telling people I am the “anti-consumer consumer”. I deplore mass marketing campaigns and try to teach people to be conscious and aware of the schemes that modern marketing is using on society to suck people into low quality conscious purchases. This problem is so virulent and pervasive in our society and it’s so important to have this side of the story told so people can wake up.
I am working on a website now and I clearly and honestly tell people about my marketing strategy, which is to raise the consciousness of my customers. I do not subscribe to low brow marketing techniques nor do I try to trick customers into buying something they don’t need.
Thanks so much for motivating me to be more honest and to take responsible marketing very seriously. I am happy to be one of those people working towards this aim. Thank you again, your site is an inspiration and you have changed my life in vast and innumerable ways and I am forever grateful.

I don’t like to disagree with Leo Gura the chosen one, a fat executive with more money, no offence, than he knows what to do with it, when I agree that materialism is unreal, and matter’s unreal, but it sure is solid, the solidity like it or not is part of the imagination we all made up, people think solidity’s real, reality can’t be real, therefore solidity isn’t real, it’s the other way around, it’s the solidity that’s part of the holograms you surround yourself with, don’t tell me that coffee table in front of me isn’t solid, that somehow I, as it seems, can force enough energy in my mind to go through it, it’s solid, it’s just not real; life’s not this counter-intuitive thing that things magically happen if I don’t do anything to do it, it’s not in my direct experience, my direct experience tells me that by doing nothing you have nothing, it seems to make logical sense when what’s illogical is getting nothing accomplished to purify your being, but it does nothing, therefore it doesn’t purify, it doesn’t defile, it doesn’t have an effect, nothing is still nothing, it just lets you remain exactly the same, it’s not doing anything, it’s not meaning anything, even to the point of having to have no meaning in people’s heads, well still if it’s nothing it doesn’t even put the meaning there in the first place, it’s not really anything, it’s an emptiness, it’s sitting still and not even so much as anyone’s reactions to you, you’re not just sitting still, you’re sitting still by inactions doing profoundly nothing, not even people getting angry at you, not an easy thing it is with your loss of activities to do nothing and therefore yourself to do nothing, it’s even uncaused, you can’t make anything happen by doing nothing, end of story; in my direct experience something can’t be done to achieve something else outside of itself, therefore being different can’t be to be better, it can’t be to be more successful, being different, not regular is put there for the sake of being not regular, you can’t be something else outside of yourself, and to be honest you’re normal for being normal, not for anything external, what’s not strange about strangeness is that it’s not external to itself, it’ll work if you were different to be an outcast, to be sacrificed, because that’s what the whole history of differences is all about, it’s not a badge of honour to try to outshine other people, it’s banned in Rome, the Roman Italians will kill you, and if you think I’m talking out my ass, check the history of Gaius Julius Caesar, by outshining the other Romans they tried to kill him, don’t tell me history isn’t true, that somehow nowadays has nothing in common with olden days, it’s brutal because in reality if you don’t consider the consequences life will be brutal, and if marketing is registered that way, be it a simple product, historical, modern or otherwise, then these people will leave the salesman with a smile if he pushes sales to serve you, based on what you like, and yes it’s cultural, the above is mainly culture and there’s a product for every group of people, using their folly to hook them into buying the product, that means it’s marketed to fools. Do you know why there’s hard cheese for you to cut it yourself? Because there are fools like some of you who will buy it and risk hurting yourself to cut this cheese.
