All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace - Adam Curtis

See ep-1 "Love & Power," on contradictions of Ayn Rand's life versus her philosophy; can be found on yt / vimeo
Series supplies interesting history for any nerd interested in systems analysis and provides a survey of California Ideology.
His documentary on the legacy of Henritta Lacks' immortal cells and biology, "The Way of All Flesh" is also interesting food for thought on systems analysis.
This contamination has happened before with HeLa cells and the original "War on Cancer". It was an absolute disaster back then, and I'm aghast that the medical industry hasn't learned from this mistake. I actually am quite shocked and horrified that this has happened again. This means that many many human lifetimes of work are invalid.
There's a great documentary by Adam Curtis on this exact topic. "The Way of All Flesh" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0lMrp_ySg8
Again, I can't express just how sad this makes me.
Also, Adam Curtis's documentary: The Way of All Flesh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0lMrp_ySg8
Adam Curtis made a great documentary about Henrietta Lacks 10 years ago called "The Way of All Flesh."
I definitely recommend it: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8448974573505946013
