How does the "all-consuming self" limit our potential for true autonomy?

The Century of the Self is a transformative documentary by Adam Curtis, exposing how the ruling class uses the theories of psychoanalysis to bypass critical thinking and manage the masses. Through deep historical analysis and real-world examples, the film reveals how the PR industry links mass-produced goods to unconscious desires, shaping our perceptions and behaviors to ensure compliance. Recognizing these tactics is the first step toward intellectual self-defense and self-liberation.
