I’ve been thinking it’s the other way around. You see such and such ad X times and then the next thing you know you’re thinking about it, then mention something to someone. Then Notice the ad you’ve been seeing for a while now.

They don’t have to listen for a thought they put there in the first place.

I think history will look back at this period of wild ass mass propaganda and be like: what do you mean they used it to sell crap?
