Advertising is the world's oldest technology. 30,000 years of development. Super powerful. What would it look like if literally everybody bought the latest scam? (sh.itjust.works)

What are you even on about? Persuasion is not advertising. And in the absence of a material culture for advertising, there is literally no basis for the 30,000 year claim. This is pure nonsense and the worst kind of bullshit.
