Way better, love it.
I think most people probably spend too much time on meaningless attention grabbers. I am guilty of it too. But I agree, the video game generation has more distractions to entice their minds away ...
I hadn't heard of his other stuff, but now I am looking through it. I'll check "hyperreality". Just realized he put something out in September 2023 called "Hypernormalisation".
The description sounds interesting:
Our world is strange, and often fake and corrupt, but how did we get here? We live in a time of great uncertainty and confusion. Events keep happening that seem inexplicable and out of control. Donald Trump, Brexit, the War in Syria, the endless migrant crisis, random bomb attacks. And those who are supposed to be in power are paralysed - they have no idea what to do.
This film is the epic story of how we got to this strange place. It explains not only why these chaotic events are happening - but also why we, and our politicians, cannot understand them.
It shows that what has happened is that all of us in the West - not just the politicians and the journalists and the experts, but we ourselves - have retreated into a simplified, and often completely fake version of the world. But because it is all around us we accept it as normal.
But there is another world outside. Forces that politicians tried to forget and bury forty years ago - that then festered and mutated - but which are now turning on us with a vengeful fury. Piercing though the wall of our fake world.
Totally! Today's stuff all has quick cuts because they are worried about losing the viewer's attention. Back then, it was easier to keep ppl's attention.
Would love to hear your thoughts on BNY Mellon getting SEC approval of some sort to custody Bitcoin on Friday. In reference to your conclusion, it seems more to do with the 'social aspect', as good as they may be at navigating regulation.
I don't know the relevant rules and regulations at play in the US, but it sounds like regulatory capture at play. While the Federal Reserve holds folks like Caitlin Long/Custodia at bay on a master fed account, incumbent banks enter the custody game.
