Man's desires must overshadow his needs. This Bernais (sp?) guy, Freud's nephew, was a regular anti-Buddha. Gussied up the concept of propaganda by calling it public relations, gave women penises, what a resume.

Reiner asks a guy his profession, and the guy says "I'm a psychiatrist." Reiner says "And how did you become a psychiatrist?" Brooks replies, "I put my hand on a rock and said 'I am a psychiatrist.'

Great series, but my sence is it's conspiricy theory presented as fact. Super compelling though.
