I remember going on a date with a girl that was majoring in marketing. She was really sold to the idea that marketing is “essential for everything! It’s everywhere!” - I understood her point that even factually correct information needs to be “properly marketed”, especially nowadays, but come the fuck on, the entire industry built itself around shady manipulation and dirty psychological tricks
People can take any vague concept and find it “everywhere”.
I’m most immediately reminded of the “markets in everything” ideology from econ. It’s the same role as god in religion. Ubiquitous, inherently moral, etc. It’s the same level of wacky ideology, but TBH worshiping god seems more rational to me than worshiping some deity from an econ/marketing class.
