Adam always has such a good way of delivering his knowledge and opinions. Always enlightening and enriching.

I love how you end the intro with, "if you want to finally understand what's going on right now, take a listen" I say almost the same thing to everyone I know that I send Curtis' most recent series to. Crazy.

the thing I like most about Adam's stuff is that he thinks about the bigger picture

massive thanks - appreciate the intro - lots to digest. Adam Curtis goes full Adam Curtis and I love the total lack of any character. There's no change going from ʜʏᴘᴇʀɴᴏʀᴍᴀʟɪᴢᴀᴛɪᴏɴ narration to this clip, and he's simply speaking his mind honestly kinda scientifically in a way. Adam has a lot of patience and respect for bias and honestly I think Americans like hearing people with UK accents confirming that Americans, Brits, Chinese, and the others are simply 'winging it' , over and over, in progressively flashier ways, but also that ultimately everybody does nothing very efficiently. His perspective is always in the distance and I think he truly fufills his role as the alien tourist who just wants watch humans understand crucial ideas. There aren't many people with enough emotional maturity and self awareness to keep their head down and actually walk to their destination. I liken Adam to Burial , Banksy, Richard D James, Kaufman, Kubrick, ReviewBrah ... or the strabger who shows you a trick to get extra stuff in a vending machine. But not because of some sketchy motive or angle- just to watch another human being realize that reality isn''t just a systematic shuffle to the grave, you just have to poke around and assume nothing. basically like a child or sausagedog.

I think if you're going to upload an important interview like this you should really make it very clear WHEN it was done, namely March 23rd, 2017 (according to the Talkhouse website). Things have changed quite a bit since then I think and especially with the upcoming US election at hand, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the genocide in Gaza, and the surge of right wing politics in Europe... I'm very curious what Adam Curtis has to say regarding more recent developments in world politics, and not so much what he as saying in 2017..

Yes, this episode is from 2017. Unfortunately, KZitem's podcast integration has not allowed us to backdate publish times on KZitem. All other podcast platforms and the Talkhouse website have the correct publish date. Sorry for any confusion this caused.
