pretty much most of that which he outputs, emerges as a condign and warming tableau …… cough
i love the way he refuses to dumb down his vocabulary, I agree … screw the illiterate, you cant learn new words unless someone is shouting them at you from the front of a classroom, and you have a marginal fear driving you to an increased vocabulary.
I learnt condign :) … go dig out the definition lazy
His sophisticated rants would fly high above and appear so abstruse to the subjects he targets, that he could probably let rip in their presence and they would still feel a great deal of uncertainty, about interpreting his meaning.
long may he haunt our screens with documentarys only a minority of the population will enjoy.
Adam Curtis has produced a number of documentarys all of them are the way i would like to spend a couple of hours. These documentarys rock, in a way no unfullfilling hollywood blockbuster ever could.
I consider these as part of a set of documentarys that everyone below the age of 20 should watch, though it will take you sometime to watch them all, you will be rewarded with an expanded world view.
Nationality and Religion are form of psychological virus, noisefull illusions of consciousness, just another disease of the mind, we cling to fearfully, there are only humans on this earth. Isreal must unoccupy palestine forthwith. The majority of the human mind is filled with false beliefs, propaganda and noise, and obsession with self benefit and fear of other human beings. A countrys obsession with the absurd pornography of weaponry and militarism, is the identifiable badge of their own idiocy. Religion is a relic of the past and should remain there.
watch these especially if your american:
Primitive religion really has to go, it causes way too much death and trouble. And countrys founded on religious grounds cause a hell of allot of trouble. The measure of the acceptability of Isreal should be measured by the well being of there neighbours, they should be bound as one under the moral eye of humanity.
One thing I might ask is that all videos have an explanation of what are the properties of the material , and some kind of statement about their usefullness to humanity as it seem the allot of these newer substances are so unstable that it seems that theyre production is just a stunt to prove it can be done, where no practical application maybe made of them, not to say that discovery is not beneficial in and of itself, but could some of these elements be described in such a way as to describe what the point of them might be, for instance the copernicum video bangs on about its naming, but nothing about what it might be usefull for ? and this substance has been known of for 10 years but no statement about its properties is usefully made ? Does this mean that a large number of these elements that are being created by particle accelerators are practically useless stunts on the basis they dissappear almost as fast as they are created ?
I enjoyed and tis not just pure entertainment, the views have a purpose.
just watched this again seriously this is a tonic, a ‘potion of awareness’ drink now my elf friend, and awake from your slumber, everything is a form of propaganda.
Simply the best in films that really capture such a broad spectrum of world issues, from the tradition of japanese nursery school culture to refugee’s being poisoned by lead pollution in UN camps to food aid being stolen in somalia. Theyre really cover such a broad spectrum of things, at the same time theyre attempt at an independant view, is as good as anyone can often make.
