Myth of the 20th Century

Cybernetics is a term that, broadly defined, encompasses nearly all human-system interaction. More narrowly, and with help of Hollywood, images of intelligent robots and computer-enhanced humans come to mind. But in the real world, and especially when it comes to dealing with issues of pervasive scale and self-reinforcing centers of power such as social networks, the study of human-computer interaction becomes more than one regarding simple inputs and outputs, but rather understanding and dealing with entirely new and almost indomitable systems that by the nature of their size pose a real threat to the average citizen whether that person actively engages with them or not. And in many cases, the citizen by virtue of the convenience and utility of the systems has no choice. https://www.bitchute.com/video/VIzBI7jm6nvL/ Myth of the 20th Century – Episode 158 –  Cybernetics – Across the Grid — References — – Leviathan, Hobbes (1651) – Liar, Asimov (1941) – Runaround, Asimov (1942) – Cybernetics, Weiner (1948) – I Robot, Asimov (1950) – The Technological Society, Ellul (1954) – Industrial Dynamics, Forrester (1961) – 2001: A Space Odyssey, Kubrick (1968) – Urban Dynamics, Forrester (1969) – Between Two Ages – America’s Role in the Technotronic Era, Brzezinski (1970) – World Dynamics, Forrester (1971) – Limits to Growth, Club of Rome (1971) – OR in World War 2 – Operational Research against the U boat, Waddington (1973) – Dark Star, Carpenter (1974) – Fog of War, Morris (2003) – Red Plenty, Spufford (2010) – Soviet Cybernetics, Wild (2016) – Anti Tech Revolution, Kaczynski (2016) – Tech billionaires clash over the future of AI: Google founder Larry Page slams Elon Musk’s ‘speciesist’ concerns that killer robots will wipe out humanity, claiming the idea could ‘delay the digital utopia’, Pinkstone (2018) – https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-5686265/Elon-Musks-concerns-killers-robots-speciesist-according-Google-founder-Larry-Page.html – Joe Rogan Experience #911 – Alex Jones (2018) – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZPCp8SPfOM – The Management Myth – Taylorism and the Origins of Scientific Management, Myth of the 20th Century (2019) – https://myth20c.wordpress.com/2019/05/29/the-management-myth-taylorism-and-the-origins-of-scientific-management/ – Joe Rogan Experience #1342 – John Carmack (2019) – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udlMSe5-zP8 – Theory of the firm – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_the_firm

With Superbowl LV having failed to garner much interest in dissident spheres, many were surprised to learn the Oscars – Hollywood’s annual coronation ceremony for the most approved-of messages and mediums – had come and gone as well. In an era of very real danger in the form of pandemic outbreaks and very fake politics, one is tempted just to withdraw from it all. In tonight’s After Dark episode, we attempt to sort it all out. https://www.bitchute.com/video/ovBH4ipD4Xh9/ Myth of the 20th Century – Episode 157 – Podiums, Plagues and Politics – After Dark — References — – Triumph of Will, Riefenstahl (1935) – The Leopard, Visconti (1963) – The Brotherhood of the Bell, Wendkos (1970) – Excalibur, Boorman (1981) – Ran, Kurosawa (1985) – Return of the Living Dead, O’Bannon (1985) – River’s Edge, Hunter (1986) – Blue Velvet, Lynch (1986) – Dances with Wolves, Costner (1990) – Goodfellas, Scorsese (1990) – Heat, Mann (1995) – Battle Royale, Fukasaku (2000) – Brick, Johnson (2005) – The Departed, Scorsese (2006) – The Revenant, Prior (2009) – The King’s Speech, Hooper (2010) – The Social Network, Fincher (2010) – Sherlock, Gatiss and Moffat (2010) – Contagion, Soderbergh (2011) – Premium Rush, Polone (2012) – Rush, Howard (2013) – Bosch, Connelly (2015) – Train to Busan, Yeon (2016) – The Standoff at Sparrow Creek, Dunham (2018) – Under the Silver Lake, Mitchell (2018) – Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Tarantino (2019) – The Lighthouse, Eggers (2019) – Ford v Ferrari, Mangold (2019) – The Dead Don’t Die, Jarmusch (2019) – Parasite, Bong (2019) – Joker, Phillips (2019) – 1917, Mendes (2019) – Sulfur dioxide emission in Wuhan is abnormaly high compared to the rest of China, Reddit (2020) – https://www.reddit.com/r/WuhanVirus/comments/ez6wbc/sulfur_dioxide_emission_in_wuhan_is_abnormaly/ – Invaders Within – Outbreak and the Threat of Bioweapons, Myth of the 20th Century (2020) – https://myth20c.wordpress.com/2020/01/29/invaders-within-outbreak-and-the-threat-of-bioweapons/ – Michelle Williams’ vapid, ghoulish abortion speech gives us another reason to tune Hollywood out, Madden (2020) – https://www.conservativereview.com/news/michelle-williams-vapid-ghoulish-abortion-speech-gives-us-another-reason-tune-hollywood/ – Ratings For ‘Wokest Oscars Ever’ Tumble To All-Time Low As Exhausted Americans Tune Out, Durden (2020) – https://www.zerohedge.com/political/ratings-wokest-oscars-ever-tumble-all-time-low-exhausted-americans-tune-out – China’s Xi Seen in Public After Doctor’s Death Sparks Anger, Bloomberg (2020) – https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/china-e2-80-99s-xi-appears-in-public-after-doctor-e2-80-99s-death-sparks-outrage/ar-BBZPWCk – Coronavirus the latest crisis to threaten Xi Jinping’s ‘China century’, World Tribune (2020) – https://www.worldtribune.com/coronavirus-the-latest-crisis-to-threaten-xi-jinpings-china-century/

Agriculture has historically played a central role in global empires, from wheat in North Africa during the Roman Era to sugar in the Caribbean during the era of French and British domination. But in the case of American imperialism, the little beforehand known banana plant became crucial in the rise of American money and power in Central America and coining of the phrase ‘Banana Republic.’ https://www.bitchute.com/video/QY7TTgqwuqoB/ Myth of the 20th Century – Episode 156 – Banana Imperialism – Central America and the Rise of the United Fruit Company — References — – UNITED FRUIT COMPANY 1940s BANANA PRODUCTION FILM 71222, United Fruit Company – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPMoMLeJ9nA – Cocaine Politics Drugs, Armies, and the CIA in Central America, Marshall and Scott (1996) – Going bananas: Pan Am Building suicide in Chiquita scandal, Krajicek (2011) – https://www.nydailynews.com/news/crime/bananas-pan-building-suicide-chiquita-scandal-article-1.143195 – The Controversial History of United Fruit, Harvard Business Review (2019) – – Cocaine stash worth more than $1M found in banana boxes at Washington grocery stores, Associated Press (2019) – https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2019/08/24/1-m-worth-cocaine-found-banana-boxes-washington-supermarkets/2107307001/
