I have been sucked into buying through advertising, branding items, & public opinion in the past. I think I have smarted up since then. It is all about money & swaying minds & desires. Such an interesting man!
I might not have been so gullible if I knew the motivation & man behind the ads. Thanks again. Great job!

Very interesting episode. Maybe the best one yet! I had no idea about the influence this man had! Thank you for informing us! God bless!

Having argued about the pros and cons of free speech this is quite timely. Free speech can be used to subjugate a population to the ideas of others. A reason why many countries find it necessary to keep the foreign media out of their countries.

Great video - entertaining and informative delivery. I had never heard of Bernays. Excellent lighting, audio and editing. I celebrate that your channel is small. Makes it easier to watch you. Don’t succumb to mass marketing or gaining a following and you will keep your info pure and untainted. Regarding the topic in this video, when you see that everywhere you go there is a constant vying for your attention and energy, you can deduce that your attention and energy must be highly powerful and valuable. Ignore all attempts to gain your attention and energy. Keep your attention and energy focused on building the life you want for yourself and loved ones. Also, because you asked…I agree completely with you about the power of womanhood. We live in an upside down and inverted world. It’s a world of opposites. So, encouraging women to be more like men because it will make them more powerful, and the continual suppression of women, both mean that women are actually very powerful. I love being a woman and know that actualizing everything that makes me different from a man makes me powerful. I love men and celebrate everything that makes them different from women.

Edward Bernays is indeed quite an interesting historical case, as you show clearly here.

But also: this is probably the highest quality production I've seen from a small channel. Great work.

I am definitely guilty of buying things I don't need. Dang it Burnays!

Edward Bernays did damage that we are still seeing in our world today. I do like bacon and eggs though
