Why is the World So Confusing These Days?

Do you ever wonder why the world is so confusing these days? When it comes to the economy, politics, foreign powers, and a bevy of other topics covered by the media day in and day out, nothing adds up. But why?

We’ll come back to this in a moment.

So, one of my favorite writers is Charlie Brooker of The Guardian. I discovered him years ago when I had a bad case of tonsillitis. I know, it’s a long story…

Since then, I’ve followed his writing, his show Charlie Brooker’s Weekly Wipe, and his other show… Black Mirror. They all have something in common: Charlie’s bleak but honest vision of the world. He’s a master of cutting through the nonsense and getting to the heart of a matter.

When he has guests help him out, like documentary film maker Adam Curtis, you know it’s time to listen up. That’s why I’m calling this one of the most important videos you’re going to watch all year.

If you’re wondering why the world is so damn confusing these days, then the next 5 minutes are going to be an enlightening experience for you.

You’ll notice that this video didn’t directly cover North America. This segment was produced for a British television network, but the content is every bit as applicable for those of us over here. The names may be a little different, but the actions are much the same.

I realize this is a heavy topic for a lifestyle and entertainment website, but I felt it was worth sharing. We’re living in strange times… strange times indeed.
