Advertisements in 50 years: - A dirty weeping man crawls along the ruins of a road - He finds a solitary flower growing from a crack, rips it out, and consumes it ravenously - Suddenly, memories come flooding back of when his family was alive. At least he thinks it's his family. Maybe it's just a memory of an old BMW ad - His lips crack into some kind of emotion - Logo appears on screen ~~BARCLAYS BANK - Remember sustenance~~
@@octavioavila6548 I agree. The earth will go on in spite of us, much as it did when the Chicxulub meteor struck Yucatan and ended the reign of the dinosaurs. Our species will go down and take a few unfortunate others down with it, but the Earth _will_ abide (apologies to George R. Stewart). Be well.
The amount of congratulatory comments here referring to this analysis as "content" is ironically pertinent to part of what I think is being described. It's yet another example of how the commodification of anything, even (and now especially) phenomenal experience, shows how successfully this socioeconomic system has objectified/itemized every part of life. I was made aware of this shift in advertising when, in the aughts, I read a compilation of essays from the late 1970s or early '80s, explaining how there was an evolution from the selling of the product to the selling of an experience. As is shown here, the product may be noticeably absent -- until the very end --, but that absence is just an implicit presence. Corporate bodies exist above and beneath everything as the angels, demons, and gods of old once did and delimit existential possibilities.
Thanks for explaining why I despise that word better than I ever could. Is there even a title that sounds worse than "content creator"? I'm having a hard time finding one
There was an enormous outcry (which I was a part of) when Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism in the mid-‘00s began labeling courses with titles such as “Content Production 101” while gradually deprecating the word “journalism” from its catalog, yet nothing came of the protests. (And conspicuously, this all happened around the same time as a mega-donor financed the construction of multiple new gigantic Medill buildings…) Look through the catalog today: while the word “journalism” still appears in the school’s name, a reader would be hard-pressed to glean that journalism is a moral profession with obligations-the fourth estate, tied into democracy and civic duty-and not instead just any old filler content to pad out the time between the almighty sponsored content.
Every time I see Mark Zuckerberg talk it reminds me that he's essentially a Westworld villain. Also, someone literally "colonizing my subconscious" is the most terrifying thing to imagine. Great episode 🙏
If this type of thinking and presentation would ever become a standard in an active revolutionary vanguard of this digitalised world of ours, we would produce a true future revolution, where we would finally step above the superficial ideological colonialism of our class enemies that commodifies our very desires into products. Truly inspiring!
yeah bro stating that radical change doesn't happen because information is not presented in a certain way is truly a radical statement lol. It's not like you have to actually get up and do something, at least participate in some ngo or a movement, or train if you think that things will get militant. Endless academy-driven content won't lead to change and plastic pills won't do it for you.
It isnt standard because people dont want it to. The antagonism in capitalism is immanent, its not just a silly goblin to be cut down when we realise it is indeed a goblin.
Amazing video as always, really liked the new intro. Works like these are the reason that I started reading and learning more about social studies and philosophy. Thank you.
I complain out loud about how seeing so many advertisements makes me feel physically sick, and the algorithm sends me here. Great video, but makes me feel small compared to the machines
'The Hidden Persuaders' is a great book written about this back in the 60s. How marketers realised back then that the best way to sell is to talk directly to our subconscious.
Love your work. This is still not showing up in my sub feed, but luckily the short that links me here is or I don't know if I would have found this video for a while. Your channel should be getting boosted not blacklisted :(
I've just started binging Mad Men and suddenly started seeing more content from places I've already followed like this one discuss it. I wonder if that trend will continue and if it has something to do with algorithmic influences on the subconscious at a larger scale. Great vid btw.
In terms of desire and concept the seemingly unpurposeful act of art has a significance today especially in the way Guattari formulates “transversally” “to comprehend the interactions between ecosystems, the mechanosphere and the social and individual Universes of reference.” Felix Guattari, The Three Ecologies.
It's kinda on the nose that the bland style many ̶t̶e̶c̶h̶ "modern" companies are using is called Allegria, which means happiness and is also selling the ambivalent world with no desire.
I feel better now. Thank you!. I knew the image had replaced reality a long time ago. When I went to the worlds fair. Of course, I'm still shopping around for the right philosophy. The overdetermination of our undermining.
Lol that's hilarious! I've left so many comments on RUclips while literally taking a shit (but not this one I promise)! Amazing video as usual brother!
Great video Pills. Probably one of your best. But it was not in my subscription feed and from the view count, that appears to be the case for most of your subscribers. you might wan't to look into that.
Dude, this was some brutal shit.....Epoch Philosophy recommended you and it took a bit, but rarely has anyone been able to give me such vérité I guess in not just theory but in a manner and means of how I interpret the theory both as a already known and a new known. (Also makes me wish I still read books....damn) Thanks for the pills, new meds yum
I think the point is to be aware of desire production rather than triying to defy it. If we can not be freed from desire nor have complete free will, we should strive to produce desire concienciously, that way desire has meaning rather than simply being "given" to the mind by the cultural context.
I think meaning is kinda stupid in a proper sense, im not sure it can be created except by either obscene power or more organic means (you fuck around and maybe you get something good). For baudrillard meaning is already dead, not sure I believe that though.
You look like that kid in high school that sells me overpriced shake when I'm desperate then traps me in a conversation about how madmen blew your mind but this time you actually make a compelling argument
The 'social creation of desire'.. Yes. Debord refered to that as "Pseudo-Nature" in SoS. The irony of people being liberated by the productive forces of free market economics, only to see the system become Occult and start developing for itself - creating new pseudo-needs (supporting those needs with re-ified meanings via cultural programming) that will inevitably mean we‘ll never be able to achieve satisfaction and will be working for eternity to afford the new thing we just HAVE to have. But the thing we work for now is not riches. It is a rich *appearance*. Being successful means little when you don‘t look any different. This world moves too quickly for me to display my inner wealth. When I scope out Jack‘s car, or see that trendy blue suit Pete is wearing.. I know we are doomed.
Entered your site incidentally; good click bait, "bro." That said, let me add, capitalism is an _ideology_ , no more no less. It's a religion with its hierarchs (priests and their lapdog apologists), rituals, dogmas, shrines, totems (currency, with its ever-diminishing exchange "value"--a company store con!), etc. Once viewed in this light the entire notion of advertising makes sense. And one more thing, I salute the presenter for his insights, on the assumption he's never lived abroad in order to inadvertently escape the _total immersion_ in the US of A's capitalist "culture" the typical resident suffers every "waking" (a conditional and cautious use of this word for the _enlightenment_ it implies) moment of their life. After my first year of living abroad, speaking another language, exposed to a different culture not bombarded with desire-channeling advertising, I felt a certain freedom. Pure Maslow. Folks around me satisfied their basic _needs_ and perceived everything else as essentially _shallow_ "wants" not worth their time, life energy or bonding relationships. Yeah, I "went native" and when I re-entered the US, I felt so alienated and out of place, barely recognizing my culture--much like Jack Finney's protagonist in _The Body Snatchers_ . America had transformed into a land of...pod people. I navigate among them and their silly, alienated, empty lives--slaves to desires they can _never satisfy_ while helping their Wall Street hierarchs destroy our planet in the process. By the way, for a good self-help book on this issue without living abroad, I highly recommend R.D. Laing's _The Politics of Experience_ . Prepare to have your mind blown and your inner pod person destroyed! Be well.
Im not sure psychoanalysis is completely opposed to the notion of desire as production. I'm reminded of what Zizek says about cinema "it doesn't tell you what to desire, but HOW to desire"
This is a really cool video, but I find it strange that conversations about post-Freudian psychoanalysis never seem to mention modern clinical psychology. I get that theory is important, but there’s also a lot of scientific data about the unconscious. This video really resonates with me because I feel like my mind is very strongly affected by ads. I have a hard time ignoring ads that others seem to be able to block out effortlessly. I also remember ads I saw years ago, and they interrupt my thoughts at seemingly random times. I have ADHD, and I’ve seen plenty of other people with ADHD mention that ads do the same thing to them. I guess my point is, as flawed as ADHD as a diagnostic category is, it’s useful to have a scientific basis for the differences that can exists between different people’s unconscious minds.
Psychoanalysis in philosophy has a different function and basis than in psychology and mental health. In modern psych, social work, sociology, etc yes Freud and psychoanalytic frameworks are more or less just a necessary subject in explaining the history of the science of psychology and psychotherapy and it’s emphasized that the absence of tbr SM, and overall bad methodology was used- so even if some of his terms that he happened to “get right” as modern research and case studies and metastudies demonstrate them or something similar- ie: coping mechanisms, and neo-freudian stage theorists, like Erikson for example, his model is pretty (albeit refined to reflect modern findings and correct things portly understood at the time) is pretty much the main frsmemekrn for psychosocial theory
The freudian unconscious and medical subconscious are totally different things. Freuds unconscious is rather transcendental, it hovers ABOVE you in language, not below in the flesh. At least thats lacans take.
Advertising seems to be what Siddhartha Gauthama called, Moh-Maaya Which I'd like to translate as Illusory-Desire, a warm longing for something that isn't real.
This is desire itself for lacan (and freud), no wonder it is so unavoidable and uncrackable for buddhism! Lacan has this idea of the repression of enjoyment creating its own enjoyment of repression, which sounds like maybe whh buddha rejects asceticism? Perhaps im wrong, i dont know buddhism well.
sad but true...I especially love the ones from brands trying to look good by saying they are charitable when they don't even treat customers all that well...
excellent video, you really explained it well. one thing I think you could make a video about is the ideological represntation and envisioning of space exploration. There is a huge package of 'technology good' but I feel like there is a big package of "utopia free of capitalism' content there aswell
I’ve felt like I’ve been gas lite by advertising my entire life that I have no idea what I actually like or want deep down. I’m not sure how to break this
It's funny, cos I'm pretty new to this channel and right before this video I watched the The Culture Industry video and it talked about the hegemony of culture into what is acceptable for the wider audience, and then this video was not included in my feed. Hmm, weird.
I work at a marketing agency, and it su painful, it really hurts that all that's criticable about advertising and every point you make in the video is viewed as something positive and "productive"
Incredible video as usual! Could cybernetics, and eventually something like the singularity, change the desiring machine, possibly even the end of capitalism? The singularity, as Musk and friends advertise, suggest some ascension into god-like realms of knowledge and experience (its first attempts with neuralink and the like), but are we so sure the subject will be around after and it can represent our inner and outer realms (what I think vs what I say) while keeping them separate, and will the unconscious survive this transition? What would advertisement look like in this environment? Maybe the way to save ourselves from capitalism is to destroy the subject, and the unconscious (as lack) will survive in global brain and something new will develop, and so on and so on *sniff* *sniff*.
zizekian detected. I think this dream precisely of a driveless subject/lack without real (a mega tech ascencion) is exactly the capitalist fantasy. Perhaps there is a radical new substance opened up by this god-like potential, but I think it can be made only by fighting for Antagonism itself, not by fighting for "transcendence".
Hey, mate I've watched a few videos of yours So now the question is What is there to do about all of this? As far as I understand, there is no way out of this. As someone put it, the life outside of capitalism in unimaginable
I was looking into doing social media advertising and such. I learnt about this stuff.i knew something was off. It couldn't be right. Anyways, I'm jobless living with my family trying to build a personal brand to sustain myself on an anticapitalist social initiative.
I have no job, I am depressed and broken. I am thinking about getting into advertisement industry and using/applying cultural theory understanding to sell more products like the owner of buzzfeed, Jonah Peretti. Through this way one can make money and accelerate the consoomerist globohomo stasis into a beast or a corpse. Nick Land was right.
When i see this kind of videos with less than 100k views makes me think most of people just want to stay in the ignorance and watch crap gossip and blogging videos instead etc, really.. its fucking scary
Hey plastic xD. Great video as always. If i may make a recommendation i would suggest you change the use of unconcious to subconscious. Its not much but yea xD i am a snob xD
