I first discovered this film last night, but I think it might be the best documentary I have ever seen.

Its hard to describe what this movie is about, I guess it is just about what makes humans different from all other types of life.

We are the most intelligent species to ever inhabit this planet. Hell as far as we know we are the most intelligent species that has ever existed in the entire universe. Many of our current activities are very counterproductive for the future of the species. "If we drive ourselves extinct, the epitaph on the gravestone of humanity will be "why?"."

"learning something" = watching BBC propaganda

"learning something" = watching BBC propaganda

from what I've watched I don't see how it is propaganda when it is relatable to different ideologies. I'm only 20 mins in but the ideas of progress trap, brain evolution, or over population does not seem overly propagandish.

I put this in my instant cue a few weeks ago, with about 25 other documentaries. I love docs, and it seems to be a strong suit of Netflix streaming.

I haven't watched it yet though.

Let's not kid ourselves. All that open space and a human of all things believes they are on top?

theres a reason I said "as far as we know"

anyway, if I am wrong then go ahead and prove it
