ONE OF THE MOST AMBITIOUS AND COMPREHENSIVE PIECES OF FILMMAKING I'VE EVER SEEN. covers a broad range of social, philosophical, environmental and technological issues and challenges. while i agree w/ the overall tone and argument, the problems may be slightly more complex than they are presented (partly due to the limitations inherent in the medium, i'm sure). i'm a little skeptical of the way in which some of the concepts are framed, particularly in regards to the institution of "politics." maybe the term 'government' would've been more appropriate. his argument against the fractional reserve system seems somewhat overdrawn yet correct nonetheless. i found the characterization of reality as emergent and symbiotic to be very apt and useful. it's heartening to see that more and more people are embracing the scientific / humanist / anarchist / holistic (interconnectedness of all things) approach to both reality and society, but that's just my POV. if nothing else, addendum should get people thinking differently about these issues and reevaluating their own role in society and potential as free, creative beings//
