Dark humor vs. Silliness
o
Several of the times that it may have seemed
like silliness, it was really just Alex flirting.
o
So more dark humor really—satire—to draw
attention to the real problem
Ø
Monopolies
o
Combining all the big companies shows how
Lindsley really doesn’t like big businesses at all
Ø
Criticism of Chemistry? Or science as a whole?
o
I don’t think so….
o
More of a “Just because we can doesn’t mean we
should” type of thing
Ø
Free Will
o
In “Just Do It” is there any free will?
§
Not really—you can try to resist the craving,
but it is just futile in the end
o
Are advertisements today similar?
§
Yes, but we still have free will
§
Advertisements today entice but do not force
Lindsley is trying to draw attention to the fact
that we are at risk of letting big businesses control us
