Disclaimer: I strongly disliked the documentary “The Social Dilemma”, which rode a mimetic (and neurolinguistic programming) wave of popularity during the darker days of the pandemic. But this is not a review, so I’ll set most of my aesthetic and moral observations about the film aside. If you’re looking for a thoughtful one, though, I found “The Social Dilemma is Dangerously Wrong” to be one of the best I’ve come across.
