There is a Policeman Inside All Our Heads (part 1 of 6)

I've noticed in all adam curtis documentaries(including his latest one about computers and holism)that there is a very similar message that is essentially a form of postmodern nilism. It is this: There is no human being, there are only blind social and political forces that shape and control humanity. individuals do not exist. you are either a thing shaped by society to think it's an individual or you're a mindless conformist. yet to me, a true "individual" knows himself to be a part of society

I've enjoyed this series on the whole, but this episode irritated the fuck out of me. It portrayed the human portential movement at it's crass and narcissistic worst. More rational approaches the self actualisation such as those of carl rogers were convieniently ignored. Also, in my opinion, no true "self actualiser"sees him or herself as an isolated entity, divorced from human relationships or wider society and culture. But my biggest criticismi'll savefor my next post...

It's obvious right? That the solution lie in the middle. Extremes are not good in any area of life. BUT.........some ppl. DO have bigger appetites than others. I aint talking about the sex addicts. I mean a natural presence of capacity and desire for it. maybe by hormones..........by ego size. It does exist. We "aint" all the same in this area.

peace.

@translationwiz its our environment's influence from the foetus on, that creates our psychological stability and drives.. we should work on creating a healthier environment which supports human existance, growth and self discovery, through creative activities, so that we may create an inner life that is able to connect to the world in love and harmony
