There has been a lot of unbeknownst social programming of people via advertising since the early 1900's. This did not occur via a grand conspiracy, but simply by people whose job it was to sell more stuff. The psychological science of marketing started in the 1920 when proponents discovered ancient constructs in our minds that could be taken advantage of in order to sell us more than we needed. Infamously written about in Edward Bernay's 1928 book "Propaganda" which details how he used his uncle's ideas (Sigmund Freud) to expand cigarette sales in the US by 50% by linking the needs of women at the time for equal rights, to the Statue of Liberty holding a Torch of Freedom to women not being smokers.
This used to be fine as people back then believed that the planet was effectively infinite, however, in the late 60's, which coincides with the heights of psychedelic usage, environmentalism was established. This saw scientists, who had access to new data about the status of the planet, realised in fact, we do not live on an infinite planet and we are using up 170 percent of what we can regenerate annually.Start editing
