#AdamCurtis has an annoying habit of making well-made films which the BBC compounds by letting us watch them for free.

#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?"
