Adam Curtis was born in 1955. He'd have been 25-35 in 80s. This is basically about how he got woke or something. Not about world.

Ok, done. Skipped a bit in last 1/3. #hypernormalization not recommended. Tedious free association of not-even-interestingly-wrong patterns

And here endeth livetweeting of #hypernormalization ... that's 2.5 life hours I won't get back. But Century of Self still good, recommended.
