- jamesmiller5 10y ago"All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace" is another excellent documentary by Adam Curtis that I found particularly interesting for it's focus on the history of silicon valley.

- cyberpunk 10y agoI had no idea these were freely available. Thanks and then doublethanks to whoever is behind thoughtmaybe.com...
- guitarbill 10y agoYou can see the videos on thoughtmaybe are BBC watermarked. AFAIK, the BBC never released them outside the UK, although this is mainly due to copyright and the special provisions the BBC has inside the UK that enables them to produce such high quality material. So while they may be "freely" available, I doubt it's legal. I'm not sure how much the BBC cares about enforcement.
- digi_owl 10y agoLast time i looked into it, the thoughtmaybe site seems to pull the actual videos from archive.org.
- astronautjones 10y agoadam curtis has implied (in the chapo interview linked in this discussion, i think) that he encourages the bbc to/has an agreement with them to avoid taking down uploads of his films
- justatdotin 10y agoyeah, this is far from his best imo
- orasis 10y agoThe Century of the Self is the most reality changing information I've ever been exposed to. This is my #1 top recommendation for any intellectual to consume.
- seppin 10y agoPower of Nightmares is a Bush era film that first got my attention, IMO his best to date
- digi_owl 10y agoThe Trap, particular part 1 questioning the validity of Game Theory, is highly interesting.
- hurbledr 10y agoI'll second that. The part about Russian PR tactics is especially relevant to Americans today.
