Oh soothsayer what does your wisdom say of those of us who saw them as sellouts? Or those of us that aren't enamored by consumerism? Or both?
It would appear you are the one who has normalized these things in your mind as you have accepted them as inevitables.
Unequivocally, what you said.
This is like saying that I've normalized car accidents because I tell you to wear your seatbelt, knowing full well they happen.
The people who think they are not prone to these types of biases are exactly like the dopes who don't wear seatbelts. Either because they think they aren't prone to accidents, or are simply just dumb.
Marketing doesn't work as well as marketers would like everyone to believe. It works better on people who believe it works.
I'm not sure how one could possibly reason themselves into that position, so I guess I'll just have to recognize that "you can't reason a person out of a position they didn't reason themselves into."
Your inability to determine how I have reasoned my way into something is about you not me.
Your dismissal of my ability to reason this and claim I didn't reason myself into it, is a contradiction to the first half of your statement.
It would appear you are caught up by your own limitations. Your choice to project these limitations on others indicates you are incapable of recognizing others have not only different perspective but different life experiences.
Instead of just throwing out a lot of empty insults, you could have just demonstrated I am wrong by explaining your reasoning. By not doing so, you just confirmed that I am right. Well done. Thank you.
Am I did you give you my life story? You've asked no questions. Displayed no inquisitive nature from which to build a response.
You are the one throwing insults. I started with mocking tone and everything since has been placing a mirror to your insult attempts.
If you need an insult, I can easily provide one. You are a vapid know nothing.
You were challenged, now twice, to actually show your reasoning. And you've chosen, now twice, to avoid providing it.
We both know why, it's just a matter of whether you're willing to admit it, or if you will just keep throwing out empty insults to deflect away from what we both know is the truth.
You've got a knack for this self righteousness, consistently too.
You can't even ask nicely. Good luck with that.
Yes, it's my fault you can't support your position. Why didn't I see that? Lol
