Mona says I post too many Youtube videos so I’ll just post one and link the rest. Below are six videos produced by the BBC on Edward Bernays. As far as I can tell, this is the only documentary on this subject. I disagree with many parts especially the emphasis and influences of Sigmund Freud on Bernays.

Why do people believe the things they do? Why believe that aliens built Stonehedge or that magnetic bracelets cure everything from diarrhea to arthritis? It seems that most people don't understand what constitutes good evidence from bad evidence or even good logic from the bad. People tend to think - at least implicitly - that seeing is believing. Below are 5 videos showing how people can be deceived.

I love this city. We’ve been taking advantage of the fact that we’re here and been going out consistently for the last couple of months. On Friday, I went to Ameba Records to buy the new CD for Do Make Say Think who we will be seeing on Sunday. After, we hooked up with Scott and headed to Sharky’s for some Mexican food. The next morning we woke up early and left for Santa Barbra. I was totally blown away by the beauty of the city and beaches. We hung around most of the day taking pictures and walking around.





When we retuned to LA we walked down to the LACMA to see the new Salvador Dali exhibit. I expected to see couple of his pictures but was impressed to see they had most of his major work. It’s amazing how long you can just sit and stare at his paintings. Your eyes never sits still always being led to the next place. After the exhibit we sat outside listened to a band playing improvised jazz.





Before next weekend we’ll be seeing the new Sigur Ros documentary. I can’t wait until they come to town. I first heard them on the Invasion trailer. Here is a preview of the Documentary and some of their music.








Until next time…
