Dr. Christopher Ryan: Sex at Dawn from DANGEROUS MINDS on Vimeo.

In Sex at Dawn: The Prehistoric Origins of Modern Sexuality renegade researchers Christopher Ryan and Cacilda Jethá debunk almost everything we “think we know” about sex and show how our promiscuous past haunts our current struggles regarding monogamy, sexual orientation, and family dynamics. Weaving together convergent, often overlooked evidence from anthropology, archeology, primatology, anatomy, and psychosexuality, Sex at Dawn shows how far from human nature sexual monogamy really is and unapologetically upends unwarranted assumptions and unfounded conclusions while offering a revolutionary understanding of why we live and love as we do.

Requiem For The American Dream [Trailer] from Media Education Foundation on Vimeo.

shop.mediaed.org/requiem-for-the-american-dream-p787.aspx

Requiem for the American Dream features Noam Chomsky, widely regarded as the most important intellectual alive, on the defining political reality of our time – the deliberate concentration of wealth and power in the hands of a select few, the death of the middle class, and the swan song of functioning democracy.

Through profoundly personal and thought-provoking interviews filmed over four years, Chomsky unpacks the principles that have brought us to the crossroads of historically unprecedented inequality, tracing a half-century of policies designed to favor the most wealthy at the expense of the majority while also looking back on his own life of activism. A stunning introduction to current debates about the impact of inequality on democracy and a potent reminder that power ultimately rests in the hands of the governed.

Who's Afraid of AI Art? from Yuvaroo on Vimeo.

A (very) short film about an artist going on strike against the scary new world of AI-generated art. I created this film using traditional hand drawn images together with AI-generated images*, as an experiment to see if human artists and AI can work together in harmony... or not. *AI image generators like Dall-E are artificial intelligence that generates original works of art based on human-supplied prompts.

Francis R. Connolly: "From JFK To 911 Everything Is A Rich Man's Trick" from Geoffrey Alexander on Vimeo.

Francis collates publicly available information and film footage to present a coherent and convincing description of what happens behind the scenes played out on world history's stage. I have been unable to contact him, it would appear that his website has been closed down and his video removed from YouTube.
