ad·vert 1 (ād-vûrt') Pronunciation Key
intr.v. ad·vert·ed, ad·vert·ing, ad·verts
1. To turn attention.


I don't know where advertising started, but advertising has essentially become a way of turning your attention from anything of actual importance concerning a product. Advertising is often geared to appeal to your emotions and self image. Look at these creative car commercials. (each is +30- seconds.)



What do any of these automobile commercials have to do with the practical uses of a car? If you find out. Let me know.

These ad's are not meant to inform you. They are meant to entertain you, and influence you to do something like ask your friend "Did you see that one new car commercial where Grace Jones is cheating on her husband then her car turns into a transformer and starts to dance!? You haven't!?? Well you gotta watch it!"

Know your advertisers. They work very hard to know you.

Closed Open Minds

     To be open minded means that you entertain all arguments. ALL of them. That's when you realize that many people who told you that they're open minded are actually not, because they'll judge you for listening to an opposing political argument, or for lending an ear to someone from another religion. I think that it's a mistake to think that we can all like each other sometime in the future. That would require a considerable amount of hegemony, and that's the opposite of freedom, that's the opposite of open mindedness. Freedom isn't rainbows and unicorns, freedom is complex and can be dangerous, and scary. In the woods, an armadillo wanders off into the road, and someone else's freedom paved a road, and ran right over it while freely traveling from one city to another. Perhaps, the root of many of our social issues has to do with the inability to sit with discomfort. The way that tribesmen had to sleep, with bears, and lions, or giant ants, and snakes ...
