Human Resources: Social Engineering In The 20th Century

[ajseph 21]

This video by Scott Noble discusses the scientific management of life in the 20th and 21th centuries bringing up many relevant points on the schooling system, workplace, hierarchical systems and how different countries implemented these strategies on the masses. The division of labor as a way of de skilling to break workplace democracy and the frustration-agression theory are covered as well as many CIA military and medical tests/torture. It is disturbing content in the video and when you hear and see how these bastards think and treat normal people it's sickening! What the documentary informs the viewer about is mechanistic philosophy and exploitation in this hierarchical society we live in and how ponerology never changes it's dehumanizing effects (though psychopathogy is not mentioned). http://youtu.be/Zp1hi2lHoRU
