the series does a great job creating a modern parallel to the original. The Native American Indians are replaced by modern cliche Americans “we love freedom and guns and junk food” lol

societal manipulation is at least as old as society itself. Religion is the original control mechanism of the masses after brute force of course.

No I haven’t seen it. Will have wee look see edit: watched first 10secs......” hearts and minds“

The series isn‘t available in my country.

I recently saw a video by a behavioral psychologist who said that the classic manipulation in our society, which is used to maintain power, is based on fear. Currently, social media and mass media are also creating confusion among the population. He said that people are given contradictory information that causes their intellect to fail. In psychology, people with these contradictions would probably be described as schizophrenic.

True
I just found the next gem of the movie industry. This movie seems to be a direct attack on the human intellect

The American Society of Magical Negroes is a 2024 American comedy film that satirizes the Magical Negro trope in featuring a young man who joins a clandestine group of magical African Americans committed to enhancing the lives of white individuals.

It’s almost a form of schizophrenia when peoples Versions of realities are so different.
The conspiracy doom loop created by the algorithmic overlords have ruined a whole bunch of good peoples mental health to the point they’re now borderline.
I genuinely think this is an accidental negative externality from a new technology that was released to early(AI same thing too early) as opposed to a grand scheme to control and debilitate people because imo that’s a tad grandiose.

If you look at the selection on Netflix or Amazon, you can get the idea that the entertainment is deliberately offered at a level that doesn't broaden your horizons.

I take the day off and watch all the Sharknado movies

We see the cross-section of society in every institution and everywhere where people work. I think it's important not to think in black and white and to allow yourself shades of gray. I have also seen politicians and business leaders who are well motivated and try to do something good for society within their own framework.
These are the people we should support and work with.
