I had thought that this morning I might prepare a post about Adam Curtis’ excellent documentary, HyperNormalisation, which is certainly the best documentary of the year, in my opinion.

It’s an examination of US and Middle Eastern affairs and how they relate to the power structure shift from the political to the corporate, and how this new power structure has created a “truth” out of lies designed to simplify complex world dynamics, and how this false narrative is held in place by mass human interaction with a cyberspace that allows people to exist in insular narcissistic bubbles that reflect the user’s selves back at them. This depressing document can be viewed, at least for the time being, on YouTube HERE.

HyperNormalisation suggests a false reality that is at this point so complex that there may be no hope of unraveling it, and it’s the reason whereby atrocities like Brexit and Donald Trump can happen completely under the noses of the groups of people who might have been able to create opposition.

But, yeah, I’m not going to post about that today…
