I'm just always geeking out on weird things.
So on that side, I'm less strong.
But I think to come back to the Reagan administration on the...
on the kind of the fear and the sense that something bad might be happening.
There's this interesting thing that happens in the 80s, which is on the one hand, you have the emergence of the satanic panic.
which I've always found fascinating, this huge surge in this kind of Christian culture saying, this music's demonic.
These demonic entities are trying to get in.
Don't let your children, like later on, they would be like, don't let your children watch Pokemon.
It's like black magic.
This whole culture of like fear about anything which could be associated with the occult and the implications it could have.
And I've always been fascinated with that, of course, as someone who was Christian, as someone who's interested in these topics.
But now, studying the Collins elite and looking at this trajectory, I look at that and I think, what a perfect fever to create if you are someone who believes that this is demonic, and you do believe the occult may create more of these phenomenon, and you want to control that.
Well, I don't want to have to build a system into people's lives, but what if I spread fear through the culture by creating this satanic panic and making people terrified of engaging with the occult?
So I find that very interesting in the 80s.
And simultaneously, whilst you've got this kind of, how do we create fear on the planet?
Up in space simultaneously, Reagan is building... Reagan's like flying up there, constructing it like a dad building a shed.
But, you know, he's funneling huge amounts of money into industry to build the Star Wars system, the Strategic Defense Initiative.
This fast...
You know, space-based defense system, ostensibly to try and create sort of a new strategy in which to engage in this nuclear arms race to say, look, it's not just mutually assured destruction.
Maybe we can actually build defenses.
