3 Body Problem is a good show, but holy cow is it like the pinnacle of predictive programming.

What's predictive programming?
Covert plot lines and dialogue to get you to subconsciously accept certain narratives that will be pushed out. For example in 3 Body Problem, all knowing, big state is here to keep all of us safe, trust the science experts because they are super smart and went to a good school, belief in God is superstitious, the intel agent is just a good civil servant working to save humanity. Those are just a few.
That's a good explanation, thanks. So many people on twitter were raving about the book. Maybe it's just the movie that comes off this way...
