Many of you will not believe what I write today, for the simple reason that it is written. You want video. Video is truth; words are disputable. Somehow, in the last 30 years, we got to this point—people can write whatever they want, but we won’t really believe it unless we see video evidence. And while video is everywhere, we haven’t actually made any progress.
We so firmly believe in what we see on video that we do not ask for surrounding context or circumstance. And because so much of human activity is recorded these days, anything that isn’t on video, by nature, elicits skepticism.
