"In reality, society wasn't free. It was an illusion, in which grown men felt safe and empowered while being able to dress up digital avatars and photograph them in ways that they could control." - excerpt from the ficticious Adam Curtis documentary that narrates my life.
A new Adam Curtis series has just dropped. Which means that my frighteningly accurate Adam Curtis impression is good for the next two months among a certain set of friends who find comfort in his dystopian tone.

But is this perhaps now all moot given #Blackrock et al no longer using economic equations but relying on llm models?

Today is a good day because a new Adam Curtis documentary, "Shifty", is out https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/m002d2jv/shifty "When power begins to shift in society, everything becomes unstable, exciting and frightening. Living in Britain at the end of the 20th century." #adamcurtis
"An Adam Curtis like critique of 2025's US shit show"

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

"It has been described as the biggest transfer of wealth to the rich in recent documented history." - #AdamCurtis #BBC December 31, 2014

#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."

Ich schaue jetzt die Adam Curtis Doku "All watched over by machines of loving grace" um herauszufinden, wie das im KI-Zeitalter noch funktioniert. #AdamCurtis
#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.

"The most terr[or]ific thing over the whole documentary was, how often greedy corrupt criminals ruined everything. It's just shocking to see, how [so] few people ruin the life of millions just to become rich." - @johannesbenchekmoumou8445 (inserts are mine)

For those still thinking the average Russian had anything whatsoever to do with Putin, the 2022 #AdamCurtis documentary #TraumaZone is worth a revisit. Of special interest is who it was who advised the Kremlin to take the route it did, and you'll never guess who…
