Very nice. Impacting on many levels. Kept me hooked throughout, and yearning for more.
It's quite refreshing when one sees another thinking in the same regard, especially in processes as pivotal to our freedom and state of inner-self as
dissonance and true self-awareness.
Indeed, we owe it to our ancestors and descendants alike to break the social and mental restraints that bind and control the consciousness in an
effort to smash through the fences that corral our collective subconscious.
You video was very refreshing indeed.
Keep it up, man. I'm looking forward to the next.

I liked it.
All propaganda is good, and it seems like you might like making propaganda.
At different times I was reminded of the "YOU ARE NOT SPECIAL...YOU ARE NOT A UNIQUE SNOWFLAKE" voice-overs in (movie) Fight Club, and some of them old T.O.P.Y "Message From Thee Temple" vids, and of those super-excellent Heaven's Gate recruitment videos (partly maybe from the shaved head - but besides which that fellow had some interesting eye-movement patterns in persuasive speech that you might find relevant).
I do have a couple of critical notes, not at all to cap on you, meaning only to be of slight potential help.
I think some of the editing+dissolves was kinda overly busy, and actually undercut the message of the word content...I would vote for one long static artsy claustrophobic camera angle single take...you could have graphics behind the speaker's head, but (to my taste etc.) nothing should pass between the eyes of the speaker and the eyes of the viewer to break the tension and occlude the speaker's hypnotic gaze...
On a much stupider and more quibbly level I did get hung up on a mental sticking-point objection to part of the text, to the effect that if everything is brought into the light, in a certain way that is a loss of information, and represents an increase in anonymity - if nothing is hidden nothing is emphasized, if everything is revealed nothing is revealed in particular...I mention this not to "have-me-be-right", but just as marketing research in an audience member's reaction...probably I'm weird and nobody else would have that reaction, I'm just one data-point, that is just the part that petted the cat wrong for me...
But like I say, nice work, it is good.
