The Trap
22-03-2008I am quite disappointed on how usually works conventional wisdom. Many people settles down many concepts as being true or good without even thinking deeply about them. (My own sentence is very paradoxical, since "true" or "good" are just common wisdom concepts: how to prove something is "true" or "good" if it is mostly and objective perception?). So I usually consider any effort to make people rethink every little thing as laudable.
On the last months the BBC has been airing some very interesting documentaries by Adam Curtis. The films have a very descriptive name: The Trap. (ĄJep!, just guess he is criticise something). Fortunately, we have Google Video and there are a lot of BBC programs on Google Video.
So if you feel like, watch this documentary about Freedom and how politicians trying to provide Freedom just get things fucked up. (And how John Forbes Nash was not such a nice guy as they tried to make us believe in A Beautiful Mind).
The Trap - Episode one - F**k you buddy
The Trap - Episode two - The Lonely Robot
The Trap - Episode three - We Will Force You To be Free
But, let's not trust this BBC guys too much either, maybe they are also trying to trick us....
