To understand the world of manipulation and how we got here I suggest watching Adam Curtis. The first is Century of Self about the psychology of behavior and how it is used for and against us.
Second course is "The Power of Nightmares" and how politics began to use marketing and fear to suit their purposes. Creating an intellectual divide between the high and low cognition populations.
For desert. A journey into AI-driven echo chambers. Again Adam Curtis is prescient and knowledgeable on the art of propaganda. #YouAreCool
Named after an out of print poetry collection by Richard Brautigan (esoteric much?). His latest can be a little too much Curtis for one sitting. I would skip to Part 3 for the meaty bits: 'The Monkey in the Machine and the Machine in the Monkey' vimeo.com/189121231
