"This series is about how those in power have used Freud's theories to try and control the dangerous crowd in an age of mass democracy."

If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.

Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.

    I'm watching it as we speak and think it is very intriguing so I wanted to share it with anyone who might be interested. :)

    This is an awesome documentary. My daughter put me onto it over a year ago. Thanks for posting.

    Yeah.
    This is a good series.
    Goes a long way towards explaining how Freud was exploited by the industrialists, in order to pervert the American dream into a corporatist nightmare.

    BTW, are these links to the ENTIRE series, or just the one episode?

    Because i would LOVE to watch the entire series!
    :D
    If I was to smile and I held out my hand
    If I opened it now would you not understand?

    Good vid.

    Aside from food, water, and shelter, there's no legitimate point to any of all this noise going on here on planet earth.

    Unless of course you feel the need to buy the latest fragrance of soap or perfume, CD, video game, then life itself has complete reason because someone told you so, and put a price tag on it to make it official.
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    until we begin to colonize "space" [other planets],..

    the question is whether our general sociologies mature to a point where space-colonization can be done with intelligent, civilized-reason, or if we simply see a new era/evolution of power-greed and war(s),....??
    we don’t know just where our bones will rest,
    to dust i guess,
    forgotten and absorbed into the earth below,..

    Roland, have I told you lately how brilliant I see you as being?
