#AdamCurtis #BBC Adam Curtis spelled this out December 31, 2014 - over a decade ago: "The underlying aim, Surkov says, is not to win the war, but to use the conflict to create a constant state of destabilized perception, in order to manage and control."

#AdamCurtis tells a slightly different story, primarily about the lack of any different story:

"To many in politics and business, the triumph of the self is the ultimate expression of democracy, where power has finally moved to the people. Certainly, the people may feel they are in charge, but are they really? The Century of the Self tells the untold and sometimes controversial story of the growth of the mass-consumer society. How was the all-consuming self created, by whom, and in whose interests?"

If ever we needed someone to make sense of the current shitshow, it's now, and it's Adam Curtis.

Elon Musk - ein Autist? Das ich nicht lache!

Er folgt einfach dem Plan seines Vorbilds, der politischen Bestsellerautorin und einflussreichen Psychopathin Ayn Rand, die Gefühlskälte zur Grundlage einer erfolgreichen Gesellschaft erklärte. Und deren Namen ich in den Analysen dessen, was in den USA momentan geschieht, noch viel zu selten lese.

Es gibt aber einen spannenden Dokumentarfilm von Adam Curtis, der die Connection zwischen Ayn Rand, den Techbros und der aktuellen Stärke der Kalifornischen Ideologie auf höchst unterhaltsame Art beleuchtet. Und der heute aktueller ist, denn je.

Auf Youtube ist die Doku selbstverständlich nur noch stückchenweise zu finden, aber archive.org bietet die Möglichkeit, dieses Meisterwerk aus Kunst, Aufklärung und Unterhaltung zu sehen.
