    This has been a wonderful series. I am very interested in how power-structure influence social behavior. To watch the story develop that began with “planned obsolescence” (part 1) to “stickiness” (in part 3) made me not only think about how corporate marketing works, but how church marketing works.

    Create and capitalize on fear –> sell hope

    If nothing else, I am now more aware of the natural way that people respond to that, and I have to be careful not to fall into that pattern myself.

    Btw, overall, it’s about 3 hours long. I’ve been listening to it in the background.
