Herd mentality, the path of least resistance, going with the flow, being 'accepted' by one's peers, etc. Ever heard of Freud's cousin Edward Bernays?

BTW, you DO realize the 'future' of 'money' is using your 'smart phone' to 'pay for' stuff, right?

Well, I have a dumb phone, but yes, I am aware that is one of the steps in the digitization ladder.

I just looked up Edward Bernays, and he seems like a DB that started a whole trend that has continued today of generating news as a means of advertisement.
