That song really creeped me out when it came out in 1969.  The film clips in the video  come from the movie Metropolis, that came out 99 years ago.  That movie probably creeped everybody out in 1927.

Frightened people are easier to manipulate.  If shit goes sideways, it will be because of people, not computers.
