Zeitgeist

From SkepticWiki

Jump to: navigation, search

Zeitgeist is a popular Internet conspiracy video. It promotes a number of conspiracy and pseudo-historical theories that long-predate the movie itself. While the theories are unrelated in specific content, together they develop the theme that mass-deception has been practiced by elites since time immemorial. Movie viewers are urged to question the basis of all culturally-transmitted knowledge, especially if a particular interpretation is espoused by cultural elites.
