[Craic] "Who you going to believe me or your own eyes"

[Arthur Blomme]

Hi Chris and Ted

I agree with the thesis of this film.  We definitely form our beliefs 
about reality from what we are told and what we experience.  We each 
believe that we have the correct beliefs. Our beliefs create a map from 
which we make sense of the world and our place in that world.  "We act 
on the basis of that map but the map is not the territory" 
/Korsybski/.   We can only fine tune our beliefs with sensory based 
evidence and logic devoid of bias. "Who you going to believe me or your 
own eyes" /Groucho Marx. /

There is a branch of Philosophy known as Critical Theory that 
investigates how the power elites go about creating our beliefs to serve 
their interests.  I am attaching a link to a video that applies Critical 
Theory to a number of films that serve the Interests of various power 
elites like Hitler, Stalin to name a few.

I don't know where the source of this video is,  so I am pulling it out 
of my archives. *You will have to download it before you can play it. 
*It is a two hour film by Slavoj Zizek. It  gives some very interesting 
theological insights into the meaning of the resurrection at least from 
my 
perspective.***https://1drv.ms/u/s!Alo6mGSzar1dibdb0skrY-pGe9OSOg?e=uS4BUu
