Part 1

The Charlie Kirk shooting.

Photography, optics, film and physics.

This show is really about A.I., the A.I. is inside of you. Making up data to fill holes in a narrative.

The George Floyd narrative.

Fishy things about the Charlie Kirk narrative.

Maybe the human mind can’t distinguish between image and reality.

All video is for entertainment purposes only.

Did the Ukrainian girl even exist? Fishing things about that incident.

Caution is warranted.

Possible motivations for all the fakery.

Images are very powerful, and, by definition, also fake.

Part 2

Renaissance fair bands, Canada lives in an alternate universe.

The weirdest people in the world and why do Western countries seem to dominate the world?

Mass literacy in the Western world.

Sumo makes an adopted child cry.

Differing moralities across different cultures.
