He talks about the use of subliminal methods of symbolism in advertising. Bobbotov has already informed us that no such thing has happened, it's all hype and lies. Picasso discovered the use early on of "hidden messages" and used it throughout his career as a kind of adolescent trick he was playing on the public. I really think that subliminal is the modern answer to symbolic as practiced in the pre-modern eras. Propaganda and politics are infested with the discoveries of practitioners of practical psychology: advertisers. But it has come full circle with the discovery of the subliminal power of symbolism. Actually, Hitler perceived that early, too.
