Shows how many people downvote/upvote based on title but I can agree that most people don’t have 50 minutes of their time

I think they probably have the time, but have, through conditioning, lost the ability to concentrate on a single theme that long unless it’s a Hollywood spectacle, and are so over-saturated with distraction tech they can’t sit still that long. It’s much easier to doom scroll for 3 hours while texting several people simultaneously than it is for them to pay attention.
I used to do culture jamming pirate cinema shows (including some at CCC) and found unless you present soundbite sized material with topic change-ups throughout, people simply cannot stay focused and will lose the thread within about 6 minutes on average.

My guess would be that folks don’t consider UFOs, magic, mind control, etc. to be “Technology”.
Either that or they clicked the link and get a super long video and go “fuck everything about that.”
Probably could have been presented better given the potential audience.

The title could have been infinitely better.
