Why

Why are people so willing to buy in to commercialism and a lifestyle based on a brand and name? does it give them a little community in their society. a place for them. a sense of belonging. a little place in the universe.

I don't want a place in the universe. I want to universe.

An art object is contrary to narrow thought because ti suppose to free one from their brand and place through thought and emotional communication. right?Why can't i get people to buy in to the brand of being free unbounded? i wouldn't want to brand to be cultured but instead free to wear and what one pleases.

Art consciously manipulates its audience. the audience chooses to have their minds manipulated. its a choice. for them to see and feel.

Do consumers consciously choose to be manipulated? to be mutilated? to degraded? and what happens to the world?
I doubt it.
how do we stop getting suckered in by people who want are money and start giving our attention to people who want us to see hear feel and be alive.

people relate to money very closely.
