Who Is Peter Joseph?

Created on Saturday, 19 February 2011 19:27

In late 2009, Charles Robinson was able to interview Peter Joseph, the creator of Zeitgeist: The Movie, Zeitgeist: Addendum, Zeitgeist: Moving Forward and founder of The Zeitgeist Movement. He described himself and his life in detail in what is likely a rare interview.

 

Peter Joseph was kind enough to provide Charles Robinson with previously unreleased media and video and in turn, Charles did his best to create a documentary that would help express who this person is. Peter Joseph was born in North Carolina to a middle-class family. He has said in interviews that his mother’s role as a social worker helped shape his opinion and impressions of American life. He later moved to New York to attend art school and currently lives and works in New York City as a freelance film editor/composer/producer for various industries.

Albert Finney's famous speech in the 1976 movie "Network". I put it in this month's update because it applies to mass media today more than ever before.

Especially when it comes to the garbage that is being broadcast on television. (which is why I stopped watching television years ago)

 

Religulous

In this documentary Bill Maher (Real Time with Bill Maher, Politically Incorrect) takes a pilgrimage across the globe, on a mind-opening journey into the ultimate taboo: questioning religion.

According to Maher, the title of the film is derived from a blend of the words 'religion' and 'ridiculous'.

Meeting the high and low from different religions, Maher simply asks questions, like “Why is faith good?”, “Why doesn’t an all-powerful God speak to us directly?” and “How can otherwise rational people believe in a talking snake?”

Foundational Falsehoods of Creationism

For a thorough treatment of the assumptions, presumptions, and myths underlying creationism you can hardly do better than to take in the scruffy-but-erudite series on YouTube called ‘Foundational Falsehoods Of Creationism’. The series is quite informative even if you are otherwise "in the know" on this topic.
