My mental adblock is so aggressive I had to search for photos from my city to see if there are any billboards or other sorts of ads. It turns out there are strict regulations in place, and only a few ads are allowed on the streets.

I’m being sold an idea, though.

Honestly I disagree. Being “sold” an idea is just a metaphor we get from the same place as the “marketplace of ideas”, and it’s not accurate. There’s no transaction here, it’s a copy operation. You’re being offered an idea and you can adopt it or not. You don’t have to give anything up for it.

Personally I’m adopting this idea because it gave me a new feeling of how mentally peaceful a post capitalist world would be. You can already get a taste of the difference no advertising makes by going online with an adblocker. The last time youtube broke through my adblocker it was such an intrusive feeling and I put a lot of effort into making sure it wouldn’t happen again.

Maine, Vermont, Alaska and Hawaii all prohibit billboards.

It must be wonderful.

Next, we need to get behind the joy of not being sold. I feel like in this day and age, so much money is behind just selling our data, yet we get very little in return.
