TLDR; screen ads in places like elevators where people are forced to wait, steal our attention without offering anything in return (ie a tv show or web service)

How does a person counteract these kind of ads? Localized EMP? SUPER meditation? wearing blinders or headphones?

@amy is there anything that isn't solved by localized emp?

@halkeye Well, you don't want to accidentally disrupt someone's pacemaker, so I wonder if a safer approach would just to disrupt wifi signals or just monitor displays.

@amy @halkeye Need an adblocker for the brain. Like that episode of Black MIrror where people appear scrambled when you "block" them

@nolan @halkeye I should really watch Black Mirror so I understand all these references that are floating around

@amy @halkeye Start with season 3 is my advice. :)
