Hmm, after about 10 mins, I had to skip around, I couldn't find any actual philosophy or paradoxes (other than the classic liar's paradox of course) was it mostly just artistic critique? Or were there philosophical points being made?

I gave up on it, too. I'm familiar with Strangelove, but I fail to see how this guy adds anything to my understanding of it.

I do have a theory on WHY we humans are living within
paradox that is within paradox within paradox!

Bruce F. MacDonald Ph. D.:

"This was the centre of our life, this prayer, this meditation. And I began to
see those inner doors open, which I had closed out of fear or hatred.
Gradually as my eyes turned inward, I began to see as I had never seen.

"You will indeed see, and hear, and speak things which have been hidden
from humanity since the founding of the earth," he told us one morning as
we sat on a grassy slope. "You see with your eyes like all people, but you do
not see. What can the eyes show you or the ears tell you? They can tell you of
the surface of things. But I will lead you into a deeper way. You will see into the
things themselves."

"And with your hands and eyes you know your body, but I will show you a
knowledge of your body and your heart and mind and Spirit. You will see your
mind and know your Spirit and understand the longings and desires of your heart."

"Do you now already feel within you the peace which leads to understanding? You
will be able to move in that peace to know the Father as I know the Father."

But we were troubled among ourselves because we did not know about this sort of
knowledge, and our traditions did not have these practices except among the prophets
of Mount Carmel.

So Peter asked, "Will you make us all prophets, then, that we may be like Elijah and
Isaiah? We are but common folk? How can this be?"

To which he answered, "You will be prophets and more than prophets. The prophets
warned the people of what was and what was to come. But you will be the very Sons
of the Living God. The prophets were servants and did not have it within them to take
part in the creating. But you will be called Sons because you will create."

We could not believe his words and sat for a time plucking grass and staring into the
distance.

Then he continued, "The time has come when the Father desires not servants but
sons and daughters. A servant does not know the will of the Master and so can only
fulfill his commands and the laws which he has established. But a son knows the will
of his father, and the son has an interest in the affairs of the father."

"So if I tell you that you are Sons of the Father, do not fear. You are no longer servants of
the Law because you have an interest in the affairs of the Father. You share in the possession
of the kingdom." (Bruce F. MacDonald Ph. D. , pages 110 - 111, The Thomas Book, Near Death,
a Quest and a New Gospel by the Twin Brother of Jesus.)

Yup.... that is Rabbi Yeshua / Jesus teaching his disciples ideas that were cut.... by Cephas / Peter and the gang of directors who produced the Christian Bible / New Testament and technically they were wise..... because the people who directed the Dark Ages... were not ready for the really heavy stuff that Rabbi Yeshua / Jesus also taught.

Basically.... we humans are far, far, far, far, far, far, far more powerful than we want
to imagine.........

We humans have the power to change the future......
radically.....
but we spend far too much of our precious time fighting over
relatively less important ideas and problems.

3. The future is not fixed and can change

During Karen Schaeffer's NDE, she was shown her children's future as it would exist if she decided to remain in the light. Because she decided to return, the future she was shown did not happen. This suggests that the future is always changing from moment to moment based upon our current actions and decisions. This principle supports quantum mechanic principles.

One of Margot Grey's NDE research subjects stated:

"During my experience ... I was also shown events that are likely to happen in the near future, but was made to understand that nothing is absolutely fixed and that everything depends on how we choose to use our own free will, that even those events that are already predestined can be changed or modified by a change in our own way of relating to them." (Grey, 1985, p. 123)

NDE experiencer Howard Storm was given information on how the future is not fixed:

"We have free will. If we change the way we are, then we can change the future which they showed me. They showed me a view of the future, at the time of my experience, based upon how we in the United States were behaving at that time. It was a future in which a massive worldwide depression would occur. If we were to change our behavior, however, then the future would be different." (Howard Storm)

Howard Storm was also told how a single person can change the world:

"All it takes to make a change was one person. One person, trying, and then because of that, another person changing for the better. They said that the only way to change the world was to begin with one person. One will become two, which will become three, and so on. That's the only way to affect a major change" (Howard Storm)

I knew the bloke who wrote the original Dr Strangelove (the film was much better). He had been a Battle of Britain pilot and was, at the time, devoting himself to drink. I was on fire picket one night and the bell rang at the gate, but it wasn't my job to do anything about it, so I went back to sleep. Unfortunately everyone else was pissed out of his mind after a Station dance.. After waiting five minutes or so, the Pilot Officer charged the gate and broke it down. The next day, as agreed. It was discovered that he had left the brake off while the S, actually flat out in the cell, was patrolling the camp. The only thing that might give pause, was the car had managed, from a standing start, to run tree feet uphill. Paradox problem all explained?
