Hi Erin
Well Warhol muddled this thing deliberately and we get lots
of adverts in films and other places. What I would like to
see would be that we do not work for money on non-productive activities,
leaving us with lots of quality time to work on things we love for nought.
So much of current economy has no real value, number counters, advertisers,
models, etc, etc. The point of it is mainly to sustain inequality against
the general
interest. That should set Platt off.
