Ebola - Fear, Lies, and The Evidence
Please read the statement below before watching this video.
1. We are fully aware that we are completely out of sync with the
mainstream news cycle by releasing this video right now (at the end of
November 2014). You may be inclined to believe that we are arriving late
to the party (some seem to be of the impression that what is happening
in Africa is less important than the few cases that have arrived in
first world countries so far), but the evidence we have assembled
indicates that we are actually early. I hope we are wrong.
2. I
personally am not at all comfortable with the information I am
presenting here. During the entire process I have struggled with two
contradictory fears: a. the fear of making an error (hence the ultra
long research period) and b. the fear of being right. In the end I would
have probably refrained from diving into this topic right now if it
weren't for the fact that getting this information out could help those
in affected regions. As such I feel compelled to speak out on this even
if it is not well received at first. This is also why when the main news
cycle was focused on the isolated cases in Dallas and in New York we
instead made a video on the topic of fear (http://youtu.be/9pnqWGBYP7Q -
It seemed clear to me at that time that the primary lesson exposed by
the first round of this crisis was the public's propensity to panic.
3. We poke fun at a large number of people in this video. Some will be
insulted, but this really isn't our intention. Though the broken logic
being mocked is real, the main purpose for the mockery is to lighten the
psychological effect of the information we are presenting. If you
observe closely you'll notice that I poke fun at myself as well.
4. There was a great deal of information that we could not fit into this
video. At one point the total length was approaching an hour, but some
of the topics that we touched upon in these early versions really needed
a much more in-depth treatment. We decided that it was better to trim
it down to 33 minutes and save the other issues for future videos
(follow us on our various social media outlets to be kept up to date).
We did however embed numerous subtle references to those topics in the
animations. You will need to watch the video several times and press
pause at various points to catch everything.
