2 am.

A short post for you this time:

Alright, because people apparently enjoy reading my nonsensical rants, I'll try to remember them for you. I have taken Nomad's suggestion and procured myself a tiny notebook wherein I shall write my brain brews.

To get you all started, here is a quandary I pondered the other day, in a new segment called

Wulf's Perplex!

If marketing and commercialism was free of sexism, racism, classism, homophobia, and the like, would it be a bad thing? Is the inherent persuasive nature of our consumer culture damaging? Does being aware of the manipulation of marketing tools keep you safe? Are people aware?

I think marketing without classism wouldn't work very well. Would many people be persuaded to buy something if they didn't think it would make them somehow "Better"?

Methinks it basically wouldn't exist then, because thats basically what it relies on. So yes.
Also, how is life, school etc.? Hopefully well.
