      this is a funny tweet / thread but I think its wrong to the extent that ads work by appealing to a person's or large group of people's profound longings advertisements are in no way trivial or empty the product probably doesn't deliver on the promise sure. but the desire's realhttps://twitter.com/sirsfurther/status/1409471442941583360 …

          It's almost as if the success of advertising is not due to the product itself but due to associating the product with basic innate human desires and emotions...

          And there's nothing wrong with that optimistic naive realism as an aesthetic. It's *obviously*an idealised vision but so is the David of Michaelangelo

          It’s a nice picture. Temporally and thematically analogous to the best socialist realism. The thing I like about both is the respect for labor. Unlike our commies who just want money for nothing.

          this formula is part of the larger pattern of distrust that's very zeitgeisty If I can show that X is aping Y, and that X is (hypocritical, shallow, wrong, immoral, questionable) .... then Y is bad, because I find X distasteful So much of the culture war follows that pattern

          There's unequal amounts of good and bad in this world. Trick is to figure that ratio, and act accordingly.
