The Carnival of Ideas: Thought Candy for Creative Conspiracy Theorists

YouTube's given rise to more than its fare share of pro-bono talking heads, so it's not often we watch any one "thought leader" video in full. But "The Command Economy," the latest ad manifesto from Carlos Mandelbaum's Carnival of Ideas, gave us pause. (He's got these expressions that grab you! And we love that musical text-reader gimmick.)

Listen with audiovisual fixation as he explains how the '80s ruined everything (which we already knew), and how advertisers' bad-ass commanding attitude have something major in common with the Berlin Wall.

It's tasty stuff, and we wanna find out where he's going with all of it.

If you're real nice, and you know what I mean by real nice, I might just consider giving you an exclusive... before the masses find out. Deal?
