You think you need a complicated world view but you don't. Get over yourself.

E.g. Advertising, as it turns out, was always bad! It always sucked, it sucks now, and it will always suck. I don't care how well you "target" it. I don't care that you liked a Superbowl ad when you were a child.

Either you acknowledge that or ride out your career annoying the shit out of everyone.
