I might have to see if we had that on Australian Netflix. Sounds like it explains an awful lot of behaviour of late.

The social media is in many ways the latest form of large scale manipulation. Even on here it's nice to see our notifications, wallets growing and other things. It's a much different feel to it than the other ones highlighted but it's certainly similar! One of the biggest things that I noticed and didn't like was the programmed echo chamber effect. The fees you got was designed for you by the algorithms to steer you in a particular direction, even if you had lots of different viewpoints you follow. Sketchy!
I can certainly see how the echo chamber effect would certainly have you believing one side of something as being the absolute truth. Each chamber effectively becomes an army ready to go to war with the other echo chambers.
I believe that there are some truths worth defending, but there is so much "truth" that is just opinion or preference. We need to learn how to communicate better with others about what we disagree on.
It is definitely worth a watch in my opinion. It definitely explains some of the problems of our days. I am just worried about how much worse the problem will get if we don't start making changes now.
There are days when I wonder if a massive solar flare to take out all electrics like a giant EMP would be a good thing. Unfortunately, it would likely cause loss of a lot of lives too.
I understand the sentiment, but I hope that we avoid that type of scenario for some time. Not only are there people that require electricity for medical equipment, most westerners are to soft to be able to survive without electricity. It would be tough here since the temps will be dropping soon.
Not to mention all the fires it could start and bushfire season is already upon us here. Maybe just take out the internet for a bit, I say as I chat to people on Hive...
