Advertising / public relations is the science to reprogram human minds to do what you want. The technology is improving. So I see advertising as one of the great evils in our civilization which we aren't even able to discuss because every news or social media runs off of ads. It limits what content is produced by changing what content is profitable for the advertiser.

Sure there are legitimate uses to spread information - but that is not the same as "advertising". And it's also not true that we couldn't differentiate between the two.
