   @douginamug Have this on queue, but I kind of forced myself to finish his latest "Can't Get You Out of My Head". Sure, interesting bits, the archive pearls are great, but the analysis seemed too fabricated at times.

     Just finished watching 'Century of the Self' by Adam Curtis, a 4-part series about the psychology of public relations in the 20th century and the strong influence Freud had upon it. Really interesting, stereotypically Curtis.

     Interesting comparisons to be made between Focus Groups (similar sets of people, asked for feedback on specific things) and Citizens Assemblies (random sets of people, asked to deliberate on broad issues.)
