What do you get when attention is a form of currency? What happens when we have access to limitless media for consumption? Artistic manipulation.

In this week’s episode, Professor Michael Drane, Medical Researcher Pat Owen, and Cybersecurity Engineer Ryan Lee answer Elijah’s Stalker Request: Advertisement vs. Manipulation.

Listen in as they discuss Edward Bernays’ mastery of artistic manipulation, the limitations of determining credibility on the internet, the philosophical debate behind “is all advertising bad?” and their reminiscing of the long-lost Star Wars episode.
