It's a slur, isn't it?
Yeah, now it's a time to close down arguments, I think.
Whereas what Russell is trying to do is bring this to the forefront of our debate, really, of saying, look, this is where we're going.
Even if we haven't arrived there already, which I think we have, in a sense that we're not looking after each other.
There's a wonderful bit where Alan confronts me
And says, you'll believe everything you read on the internet, but you won't believe me, your neighbor for the last 12 years, someone who you know.
You won't believe what I say and my lived experience, but you'll believe all this nonsense that you get amplified on the internet.
And that's true of my character.
Every sort of conspiracy theory he has or sort of strange notion, he goes on the internet and it's amplified in his head and he gets verification for it on the internet.
And then he lives with that sort of certainty, even though the evidence in front of him is not that.
But I bet if you looked at that up on the internet, there'll be loads of people saying, yes, you're right.

I mean, clever people, you go, what?
I mean, there's a great bit of Buzz Aldrin where this guy confronts him and just keeps going up to him saying, you know, you never went to the moon, nobody's ever been to the moon.
And then at one point he says to Buzz Aldrin, you, sir, are a liar.
And Buzz Aldrin just turns around and punches him right in the face.
And you're so pleased.
