If so I blame capitalism. In order to make money people need to be stupid enough to buy your products. So once they do, don't challenge them to become smarter or you'll lose business.

Capitalism has existed since the origins of humanity when the first person thought to trade one of his possessions for the possession of another.

Even large corporations are nothing new.

True.

It has evolved however. The amount of money made does not equal the progress mankind makes anymore. The system holds us back, or peace and wealth does.
