This episode is an old (6/12/25), unpublished recording brought back from the dead, due to its high applicability to the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk assassination. This was originally intended to be episode 33, but is now released as episode 35.

In this episode we talk about information overload and mental focus limiting, using the video game based concept of "view distance". We cover both how these things occur naturally - and, of course, how they're used as part of the social control scheme. These ideas are more relevant than ever in the context of current events.

We plan to do a follow up on this episode, directly tying these concepts to what we're seeing in the wake of the Charlie Kirk assassination.

“That a belief, however necessary it may be for the preservation of a creature, has nothing to do with truth, one can see, for example, in the fact that we have to believe in time, space, and motion, but without feeling constrained to grant them absolute reality.”

― Friedrich Nietzsche
