It was the first Folding Ideas video I watched. The pivot from the technical portion to the social commentary portion is masterful.
Tap for spoiler
It really dug into the corrosive nature of online conspiracy theory in an impactful and approachable way. I’m not sure if the video itself is more or less relevant than it was at the time of its release, since QAnon integrated with the mainstream MAGA movement not too much later and is maybe now starting to fracture back out again under pressure from the Trump administration’s failure to meaningfully address the Epstein files.
Still worth a watch either way.
I’d recommend watching it on a large screen to get the full impact from the Lake Minnewanka experiment. It is very striking.

I would have said Folding Ideas - Line Goes Up, sadly very much relevant with the AI hype
