Zeitgeist The Movie - Truth or Propaganda - You Decide



Zeitgeist - The Movie

Zeitgeist touches - nay, stomps - upon our post-adolescent willingness to believe, to take things on blind faith. Some of the parallels it draws harken eerily in the shadows of disinformation, of media hype, of downright fake science. And yet...

I've watched it twice now, and honestly I can't tell you exactly why. The first time was akin to trying to fill a glass of drinking water while standing under Niagara Falls.

I'm of the age of the Cold War, Vietnam, hiding our frail selves under flimsy elementary school desks, arms protectively clutching necks, being assured that this was the way we would survive the Dropping Of The Bomb. It's amazing what one can believe at such a tender age, but we had a willingness to believe.

Decide for yourself, and let me know what you think.
