Richard Dawkins - Enemies Of Reason Documentary

Yet another great documentary by one of my heros, Richard Dawkins. In this one, he tells how the countless number of superstitions and psudeo-sciences are far from just harmless fun. People are being horribly manipulated into thinking they're being made better from what is nothing more than a placebo effect. If anything, most of these things do nothing but help people make their wallets thinner.

The Boy With The Incredible Brain Documentary

This is the breathtaking story of Daniel Tammet. A twenty-something with extraordinary mental abilities, Daniel is one of the world’s few savants. He can do calculations to 100 decimal places in his head, and learn a language in a week. This documentary follows Daniel as he travels to America to meet the scientists who are convinced he may hold the key to unlocking similar abilities in everyone. He also meets the world’s most famous savant, the man who inspired Dustin Hoffman’s character in the Oscar winning film ‘Rain Man’.

"The Trap" Documentaries

This series of videos takes a cold hard look at the way the human psyche has come to be a numbed down version of what life once was. Today, most of human affairs are determined by numbers and the humanity is being ripped from life.

This video also made a good point that made me think: Are we humans the ones passing our genes along across the generations or perhaps is it our genes who use the body as a tool to pass themselves along and survive?
The video seems to say otherwise, but I can't help but notice that this thought has well matched the personal theories I have made up from human observation. (lack of free will and behaviorism, etc.)


Before you watch these, you also should watch the drug documentary I posted a short while back, since it gives direct reference to the same set of events.

The Drugging of our Children Video Documentary

I just watched this video recently and found out the shocking truth behind the drug companies and their drugging of children over the last so many years. I personally took ritalin for a good couple of years, and can't help but wonder what adverse effects it might have had on me. I'm glad I went off it when I did. (I stopped taking it because it was giving me panic attacks.)
