max power 21 Posted January 29, 2011 Zeigeist is so nuts. I was quite moved by it as a film make piece, but some of the arguments in there are just such baloney. Son vs. Sun being confused? LOL. No oversight in the American economy? I wonder what Alan Greenspan's job was, then. I haven't been able to rationalize debasing myself by watching subsequent ones.

thomas c 0 Posted January 29, 2011 There are none so blind as..... And we are surrounded by the blind, just wondering of the condition in this case. Anything that makes you think is no bad thing. Regards T.C Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
max power 21 Posted January 29, 2011 Well, it did make me think. I don't know what you mean by blind. I hope you aren't calling me blind, as I spend quite a lot of time thinking quite deeply about the things I see and read. If you are wondering about conditioning, operant conditioning is a psychological tool dealing with behavioural modification through stimuli. If you like a behaviour, you reward it. If you dislike it, you either punish it or ignore it. If you are wondering about the conditioning in my case of not really liking Zeitgeist, there is none. Actually, I quite liked Zeitgeist before I started thinking more seriously about it. This would lead me to believe that it is appealing on a basic level. It, however, doesn't seems to stand up to actual logical analysis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It, however, doesn't seems to stand up to actual logical analysis. Exactly this. It's a shame, too, because all the made-up bits only serve to put holes in the parts of the arguments presented that should hold water. Bill Maher did a much better job discussing religion, IMO. His movie was more entertaining, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

walker 0 Posted January 29, 2011 (edited) Hi all Max Power I refer you to: Plato's Cave. More conspiracy bollocks from the internets undisputed master.Got to love Zeitgeist. Actualy not, I suggest watching it before leaping to conclusions. The film is about the Nature versus Nurture debate. Kind Regards walker Edited January 29, 2011 by walker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
