Thanks for the post, interesting stuff which resonates really strongly with me. Made me think of a great 4 part documentary series called Century of the Self by Adam Curtis, check it out. Explains how Freud's theories of the inner controlling egoic mind has been manipulated by advertising to keep us controlled consumers. We are treated like children, stimulate our desire for something through advertising, get us to work towards obtaining it, we are happy, mild consumers for a period, then the whole process starts again when we lose interest. We all need to wake up. Cheers
