@unormal The next thing I'd throw on the discard pile is most advertising! Can we please not put so much effort into convincing us to consume more?

I do think advertising has a role to play, but so often the institution's counter to its purpose...

Honestly, I felt years ago “marketing / advertising is inherently evil”, but didn’t voice it because it seemed intuitively wrong somehow.
Now I’m like fuck it. Retrain them to use their transferable skills in training teachers and scientists to become better science communicators and advocates.
