SalesPitch

Context: EpistemicInstability

Everyone who teaches you sales or marketing tells you to do the following :

• create a "problem" which your product (or service) can be a solution to
• teach people to recognize that they suffer from this problem.
• promote the product as the solution
• position yourself / your product as a champion against this problem

This is so standard that it's what everyone does. And once you learn about the pattern you see it everywhere.

But what, actually, is it doing for / to humanity that we're flooding our MemeticEcosystem with a million stories of manufactured problems?

What if this is one of the kinds of pollution that is damaging our public sphere?

How are we to maintain our sanity if every fucking product is inventing new terrifying enemies and trying to recruit us into a war against them?
