0:00:00.250,0:00:01.827
Yes. We are on the bed.

0:00:01.827,0:00:04.038
You could call it an homage[br]to old YouTube.

0:00:04.038,0:00:05.234
I call it...

0:00:05.234,0:00:06.996
comfortable for my butt.

0:00:06.996,0:00:08.256
Conspiracy theories.

0:00:08.256,0:00:10.686
So as somebody who's[br]lost many a night

0:00:10.686,0:00:12.726
tumbling down Wikipedia[br]rabbit holes,

0:00:12.726,0:00:14.956
I love a good conspiracy[br]theory.

0:00:14.956,0:00:16.808
It's like, "Ooh, aliens!"

0:00:16.808,0:00:19.654
"Ooh, how do people make[br]such big triangles?"

0:00:19.654,0:00:21.181
I think that that[br]it's just fun

0:00:21.181,0:00:23.351
imagining the world[br]to be more interesting

0:00:23.351,0:00:24.467
than what I was taught.

0:00:24.467,0:00:26.277
But then something weird[br]happened?

0:00:26.277,0:00:28.467
A couple weeks ago,[br]I found myself

0:00:28.467,0:00:30.787
in the middle of[br]a conspiracy theory.

0:00:35.896,0:00:39.896
And then, all of the fun[br]was replaced with just...

0:00:39.896,0:00:43.896
pure confusion.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The conspiracy itself

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
is, like, weird and fun[br]and innocuous.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
However, what I really[br]cared about is, like,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
how do you get to that point?"

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
how do you start seeing signs[br]that were never there

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to begin with.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
That's what I want to know.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And I also want to, like,[br]disprove this conspiracy theory

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
'cause it's whack.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
However, as the person[br]in the middle of all of this,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I can imagine why I'd be[br]seen as unreliable.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So...

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
...I'm calling on a friend!

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Uhh, I don't know[br]how to put this.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
How do you put this?[br]People think that I

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
am part of the Illuminati.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Uh-

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Well, are you?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
[laughing]

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This is just one[br]of the comments,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
but I think it really[br]summarizes the issue.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
"I find this channel to[br]be highly disingenuous-"

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
"-Corporate product masked[br]to have the appearance of

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
an independently run YouTube channel."[br]"There's no way a single person

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
is that skilled at animation,[br]editing, presenting, research-"

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
"Everything is too professional for that-"[br]"There's no way this girl is the one-"

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
"-production company put[br]this video together

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
with you just as a host."

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So now- Now...[br]Now what?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Why am I calling you?[br]Right?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Yeah. I'm, like, "How do[br]you want me to prove this?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I am wondering if you could explain
