Zeitgeist



I watched the movie Zeitgeist tonight. Simon, an RA and very good cross country runner hosted the film in The Perk (the student coffee shop on campus). There was a turn out of about 15 people who ended up staying for the entirety of the movie. The movie is very thought provoking and it tries to make people challenge presently held beliefs. The topics in the first movie include Religion, 9/11, and the monetary system and its possible links to warfare. I could see how many people could get very offended by their beliefs getting questioned. Many people take things at face value and do not challenge their faith in religion, government, etc. I am of the opinion that a person's faith in things and the world will become stronger by the inquiry into the value system that a person has and really trying to understand the foundation for these things.

Listening to Cold Desert and Knocked Up by Kings of Leon.
