This discussion has surpassed my current aptitude for converting it to ad copy :-)
My key point is that advertising is a more efficient persuasive tool than argument. Even if you’re concerned about dangerous ideas in unsafe minds, we should still be using advertising to shift those views, it is unlikely that the current distribution is optimal. (though this argument is weaker, since I don’t think we currently try argument to do this)
I also think that modern advertising can be targeted enough to sort out whatever demographic you want, and still persuade better than the sequences, I suspect even to the most rational humans.

On this I am in full agreement!
