That&#x27;s assuming people have been so brainwashed they need to be told what they want &#x2F; should find fun. And I&#x27;m sure that&#x27;s not true.<p>For example, sure there&#x27;s lots of advertisements of snowboarding, but if any&#x2F;all of them disappeared, it doesn&#x27;t mean I would stop wanting to do it. But of course, I don&#x27;t <i>need</i> it. I&#x27;m still spending my money on gear &#x2F; clothing &#x2F; transport &#x2F; accommodation &#x2F; food &#x2F; services that are related to snowboarding, because I want to do it.<p>People wanted things before bullshit all around us existed (or existed only in a limited and local scale). Civilisation existed before the first advertisement agency was created.
