This documentary brings to light the (hopefully not actually) coming apocalypse of pseudoscience. Nonsensical illogical delusions are gaining mainstream legitimacy and penetration into the collective social consciousness. Upon seeing such display of flagrant anti-scientific anti-intellectualism, in one scene demonstrating these delusions can be passed down by generations, it is a wonder why the alleged all powerful "scientific elite" haven't stamped out this kind of anti-thought for good. If only.
Behind the Curve presents a warning to the future, if scientific illiteracy has got to the point where the idea that the Earth is actually a frisbee is growing in traction... Then what direction is society truly heading in?
Maybe it is not climate change, raging pandemics, antibiotic resistant superbugs, or global thermonuclear war that humanity must ultimately fear... But rather the gradual disintegration of our ability to reason and interpret reality.
A great fear of mine is not so much society facing an apocalyptic scenario... What I fear most is if in such an event we willingly and enthusiastically deny the circumstances... So much so that even our pain is not acknowledged as real... And all of reality itself becomes perpetually undeterminable in a sea of mass psychosis.
