Actually, the new Charlie Brooker series is kind of 'Ways of Seeing' meets 'Being No-one'. OK, an exaggeration but at least it ties critical viewing of TV into a broader critical assessment of our experience of the world - which, because of 'phenomenal transparency', according to Metzinger, we intuitively find to be 'natural' and direct, that Cartesian idea that we cannot be wrong about the content of our own minds. To an extent, the likes of 'Ways of Seeing' and 'How TV Ruined Your Life' can be usefully linked to the lessons of 'Being No-one'. They highlight certain typical learned responses, judgements, reactions that, if repeatedly reinforced, no longer become accessible to us, 'dropping' to a subpersonal level perhaps (effecient storage, says Metzinger) becoming part of the frame that we're not aware of around the transparent partition of the Phenomenal Self Model - unless something prompts you to scrutinise it again, to make it accessible for attention and cognition via the opaque portion of the PSM.

And the 'Orlov' sequence was a little piece of brilliance,quietly haunting.
