As the article said, it's low cognitive involvement that works best, not brand loyalty. That's why advertisers are using the Low Attention Processing Model.[1] With this particular advertising strategy, brand information is 'acquired' at low and even zero attention levels using implicit learning.[2] Implicit learning cannot analyse or re-interpret anything. The information goes directly to the subconscious mind.
If so, then we are silently influenced by ambient images and messages around us. Advertisers could be affecting our decision making and even outlook on life in ways we can't perceive. This has been the driving inspiration for these posters I designed: http://subliminalzen.com.
Essentially, if anyone is going to advertise to my subconscious mind, it's going to be me. And I'd rather acquire positive habits and character traits than an emotional connection to a product.

I also follow Beyond Meat. Google's Sergey Brin invested in them.[2] They are working on cruelty-free "cultured meat".

Carl Jung claimed one of the chief factors responsible for mass brainwashing is scientific rationality.[2] Society worships the Goddess of Reason while frowning down on "irrational" and non-verifiable religious testimony.
Now that science is proven to be systemically corrupt, what will "rational" people base their understanding on?
Aside: I designed a personality test / psychoanalytical tool that was inspired by Carl Jung. It's called Critical Stimulus and it can be found at https://www.thegamecrafter.com/games/critical-stimulus. The printable version can be downloaded at gumroad: https://gumroad.com/l/criticalstimulus

Again, fantastic job. I signed up for the Android version!
Yes. As someone who owns a trademark, I can tell you it does matter. Pick a new name.
I would guess that all of these matter by degree, and potential trouble only depends on an adversary's willingness to litigate, but am hoping for some help or guidance in what is a complicated (and frustrating) aspect of our business.
Trademark owners must defend their trademarks against infringement. Expect litigation, every time.
That said, I don't think the exonerated voice is a particularly skillful one. A careful listener can easily pick up on that.
There was a public outcry, but the researchers still got plenty of citations.

I second this advice.
Thinking Fast and Slow is one of my favorite books. Read it twice!
Depending on the message, this can be positive or detrimental to our well-being, and it puts into question how much free-agency we are really exercising in our lives. The fact we are silently influenced by ambient images and messages around us was the inspiration for these posters I designed: http://zenpusher.com

After learning about an advertising technique called Low Involvement Processing[1] (that creates emotional associations with brands without people even being aware), I designed some "stealth" motivational posters[3] based on these techniques: http://zission.com
I own a Kobo too and hope Chapters / Indigo offers the same service.
In the Slate Plus special feature section, the author of the article shared statistics on how frequently traffic accidents result in death in China, compared with the United States. In 2013 in the US there were 32,719 deaths, compared to over two million injuries in traffic accidents. That means that, in the United States, there are 70 injuries per every traffic death. According to China's Xinhua News Agency, the ratio of traffic injuries to deaths in China is four to one.

The one I use most is called God Codes, and it's been uncannily effective. It saved me $750 and pointed me to the perfect tagline for a product I'm developing: https://www.thegamecrafter.com/games/god-codes
