The Business of Ignorance – How Stupidity Became the Most Profitable Product (Edward Bernays)

Ignorance has never been an accident, it has been engineered. In this video we explore how Edward Bernays, the so called father of propaganda, showed the modern world that stupidity could be turned into the most profitable product. From media manipulation to mass advertising, from shaping public opinion to redefining society, Bernays revealed how control is built not through knowledge but through ignorance.

Today we see the same cycle repeating. Propaganda is no longer hidden, it is sold as entertainment. Stupidity is rewarded while wisdom is ignored. Media manipulation creates trends, drives outrage, and manufactures desire, not to inform but to control. Ignorance is monetized and society pays the price.
