Make it this video.

Yes, it’s confusing to watch and I admit to scrolling back and forth many times. Confusion is the nature of misinformation and the presenter himself speaks many times about the creep of the content from his original intent. He attributes it to (I have experienced this as well) the circular structure of the post-truth environment. A snake eating it’s own tail.

The thing to keep in mind is the adage, “In a world of the blind, the one eyed are kings.”
