Hoy es el lanzamiento mundial de la película Zeigeist, en todas partes del mundo se pusieron de acuerdo para hoy 15 de marzo emitirla. Si te fijas tu ciudad seguramente encontrarás el lugar donde podes ir a verla. La película es una increíble crítica a la política de los estados unidos con datos, imágenes que te van a dejar pensando en como estamos todos siendo manipulados... y la cosa viene de años!

Pues no sé yo si el estreno va a tener mucho éxito, porque ya la debe haber visto todo el mundo a estas alturas.
A mí me pareció interesante el trasfondo, pero no está de más reconocer que está llena de errores y datos falsos:
Zeitgeist contrastado, parte I

Bueno, la película es interesante, el problema viene a ser que, como es lógico, tampoco están en poder de la verdad absoluta, si esta película [como cual quier otra] se toma como un dogma se transforma en una mierda.

A fin de cuentas la idea de esta película como dice #2 es que nos replanteemos todas las ideas que tenemos sobre el mundo y nuestras costumbres, personalmente recomiendo a todos que la vean.

WTF?! Uno de los estrenos en España es en la Calle del Percebe núm 13, en Barcelona. ¿Qué opinará de esto Ibáñez?

Internet idiocy: the latest pandemic

To be ignorant has always been easy: Simply sit back in your recliner and watch Fox News.

But to be genuinely misinformed has become exponentially easier with the rise of the Internet, as lies and half-truths gush forth through its twisted web of data-tubes.

In the pre-Web age, publishing something which was patently false required a fair bit of money or, at the very least, access to some dumb schmuck who was willing to publish your ideas for you, and giving legitimacy to ill-conceived or outright moronic views required hours and hours of cherry-picking quotes and struggling to find sources that agreed with you.

The electronic age has largely done away with this demand. Now, disseminating information requires money for bandwidth, hosting and little else other than time.

As a kid, I specifically remember being told not to believe everything I read on the Internet. But humans have an odd reaction to claptrap: Most of us simply go along with whatever we hear as long as it comes from a seeming authority. Our world revolves around the Internet so much that even YouTube movies, blog posts and forum rants appear authoritative.

As far as Internet bullshit goes, nothing beats "Zeitgeist: The Movie." Released on Google Video, the film is broken up into three parts which claim, respectively, that Jesus was nothing more than a pagan god and all of Christianity is really based on astrology; that the 9/11 "truth" movement is correct; and that the Federal Reserve is the product of a cabal of international bankers whose ultimate goal is to rule over all humanity with an iron fist. This trio of bizarre theories is touted by a legion of Internet armchair experts, and it currently has a 4.5 rating on Google Video with more than 23,000 votes.

None of these ideas are new; in particular, the 9/11 Truth Movement is itself a product of the Internet. But becoming familiar with, for example, the Jesus-myth hypothesis once required hours of poring through texts so poorly written that the falsity of their content was manifestly obvious. Watch the movie, though, and you'll be so bombarded with cool sound bites, slick images and video clips and the assertive voice of a dogmatic narrator that you, too, might join the ranks of the movie's supporters.

Miscreants like creationists, white nationalists, Ron Paulogists and conspiracy theorists all depend on this air of legitimacy to convince others of their views. Witty sayings, fear tactics and a cool, assertive air all enable them to convince the unwitting public of their points.

As yet another example, consider the Internet campaign which insists that "Black Hussein Osama" is really a Muslim operative who wants to bring down the United States from the inside out. They've cleverly mined quotes and images to make it appear as though Barack Obama disrespects our flag and, with it, our country.

There is no shortage of information which refutes this viewpoint. But this type of conspiracy relies on two elements common to web surfers: First, they're only willing to check facts at the most superficial level, which usually means they'll read a message or watch a clip just once before forming an opinion and moving on. Second, the honest, savvy users are always drowned out by a sea of morons. Check the comments for YouTube videos of Obama "disrespecting the flag," and you'll see this in action.

To be fair, online databases of information drawn from legitimate print publications have made it much easier to check facts as the Internet has aged - for those of us who care to look. And at the very least, we can rest assured that Internet idiocy isn't all that bad. Gullible fools provide endless entertainment for the rest of us, and campaigns of misinformation haven't had overly hurtful externalities: Even Ron Paul's legion of Internet supporters hasn't catapulted him into winning any states.

The best possible solution to the problem of Internet stupidity is probably the most complicated. We need to ensure that all levels of our society are trained to be at least twice as skeptical in cyberspace as they are in meatspace.

Fortunately, as our generation slowly nears the top of the political food chain, solving Internet problems should become easier and easier as people born and raised on the 'Net acquire critical roles in the legislative process. In the meantime, the best thing we can do is to be careful on our perilous trek through the information superhighway.

#3 Mucho me temo que zeitgeist ya es un dogma para muchos de esos que en aras del "pensamiento crítico" se tragan sin pensar cualquier tonteria que critique a EEUU. Como apunta #1 tiene fallos y tergiversaciones a cascoporro, pero los dogmas no se atienen a razones.

Hay que verla de todos modos, un icono de disidencia
lo que ocurre es que me parece bastante densa para ver en el cine toa juntaaa...

Las criticas a Zeitgeist, son absurdas.

La pelicula no tiene animo de exhaustividad, si no sencillamente dar a concer cuatro cositas basicas de una manera entretenida.

Asi que lo basico, independientemente de los detalles, SON CORRECTOS:

-la figura de Jesus es una cagada historica hecha a retazos de otras religiones

-Todo lo relativo a la Reserva Federal de los EEUU es correcto tambien

¿Que mas quereis? ¿quereis mas?

No me gustó Zeitgeist. No me gustaron ni la puesta en escena ni el guión. La parte correspondiente a Jesús recicla de mala manera información sobradamente conocida, y el resto de la película tiene un buen ramalazo conspiranoico.
