Daily Earwig

BBC Documentary The Trap by Adam Curtis (the same guy who did The Power of Nightmares series). I will post the three parts seperately, as I did with Power of Nightmares, only not so spread out. If you don't want to wait you can find the links to Part II and III through the google video link.

Part One: "Fuck You Buddy" includes how the game theory and the Nash equilibrium were applied to free society and capitalism in order to predict and manage universal medians and outcomes.

This is a variance on the same old individualism v. community argument that separates true liberals and conservatives, broken down into a skewed mathematical formula.
(Curtis manages to slip in some Joy Division, wonder if there is any relation)

(h/t to Seder for reminding me of the series)
