The engine of our discontent
Seth Godin Blog
OCTOBER 9, 2017
When TV first was adopted, it was a magical gift. The shows united our culture and the ads fueled a seemingly endless consumer boom. Today, though, marketers have turned television into an instrument of dissatisfaction. The shows alienate many, because they bring an idealized, expensive world into the homes of people who increasingly can't afford it. And the ads remind just about everyone that their lives are incomplete and unhappy--unless they buy what's on offer.

The most direct way to get a jet to fly is to add bigger engines. That's certainly one way to get through a thorny problem. And the easiest way to gain attention is to run more ads, or yell more loudly. Horsepower is an expensive but often effective solution. The challenge is that power is expensive. And that power is inelegant. And that power often leaves behind a trail of destruction. When in doubt, try wings. Wings use finesse more than sheer force.
