1. Is that ok that we accept this sort of Pavlovian training from anyone, much less for-profit companies?
2. Is it ok now that the entities are so easily able to completely track the effectiveness of their advertising and thus empowered to amplify whatever works to increase their success rather than some metric like human happiness?
