Ok. What I was thinking is that human behavior hasn't changed since Aristotle (since long before really). And the fact that banks affect politics, or governments deceive their citizens, or suicide bombing keeps being reinvented, or whole societies go on pretending things when they all know it is not true (Putin will soon be at 120% support) all these novel-in-our-lifetime human interaction things are not really novel amongst humanity. And this BBC show is making the case that we are all being fooled on all kinds of things... and I think that we are... but just that this is the norm, not itself something novel.
