Spotted a clip from the documentary "Four Horsemen" on the timeline today.
I remember watching it as an undergrad student almost 10 years ago, very formative looking back.
"Human beings go mad in crowds and come to their senses slowly and individually. History is littered with examples of people who threw off the yoke of oppression to adopt radical change, only to end up with popular new rules that maintain the status quo. To really understand something is to be liberated from it. Dedicating oneself to a great cause, taking responsibility, and gaining self-knowledge is the essence of being human. A predatory capitalist's truest enemy, and humanity's greatest ally, is the self-educated individual who has read, understood, delays their gratification, and walks around with their eyes wide open."
The full doc is still available on YouTube and well worth a watch .
