Hello,

Are you aware of this 'movement'? There are two films dedicated to this. Have you seen them? If yes, what is your take on that? Do you support it?

Regards

I've seen the film which contains a lot of food for thought. As I understand it, the main idea of the film is help you see things from a different perspective.

I do not know much about Zeitgeist. Can you tell me more about it? I think it is taken from German language. May be Torsten can say something about it.

If you seperate the words like that, you may get a completely different meaning.

...literally translated: Zeit, time; Geist, spirit, meaning "the spirit of the age and its society".
