The recent release of a manipulated video to justify the exclusion of a journalist from the press corps provides yet more evidence that we have passed, possibly irretrievably, from a world of facts into a world of delusions, dreams and projection.

On gutting the Humanities within our education system:
On toxic masculinity:
The entire film is worth close viewing/listening, and is freely available on vimeo:
