subfever -> Culture in Decline - Episode 3 (12/30/2012 12:47:12 AM)
Peter Joseph seems to have moved away from almost lingeringly long, cerebral documentaries and towards 30 minute sarcastic comedies to connect with his audience. Is this a better strategy for him to employ? Is he possibly "dumbing it down" for the average viewer, who may no longer have the attention span needed to absorb well over two hours of documentary at a time? Click here for Episode 3

It better suits the intellect of the idiotic fans of bogus conspiracy films that is his core audience.

I detected no theory (of a conspiracy or otherwise) in the little of what I have seen in #3. Admittedly, I don't have time now to watch all of 3 let alone the others. What I heard was quite correct...western civilization and its continued trashing of the planet through its hedonistic, consumption and venality in [its] institutional life...is a culture that is a modern one. In my mind there is little question that western society will see a culture shock because what is going on now with ever-expanding of the current culture...is simply not sustainable. The money isn't there and the planet can't take it. Already we have been advised that for every person on the planet to live like Americans and most of western society...would take at least 3 planets.

I watched the video. It has nearly 3000 positive thumbs up ratings and ~40 negatives. People obviously liked it. At least half of the century similar literature and movies have been produced. It does not measure up to be among the best. We have explained the problems enough, how to change, is a change realistically possible? We may face a zombie apocalypse.

We will either evolve or perish.

The elite have brilliantly conditioned the masses to believe that they're clever, classless, and free. Consequently, we're a long way from assembling the critical mass needed to effect real change.
