We falsely interpret the world around us. We ignore evidence that doesn't support our prior beliefs and we convince ourselves we know things we don. We think we know things we don't know.

You can ask yourself, if a film makes a claim, is the claim true or false? Having said that, a style of presenting material doesn't guarantee truth. There's this crazy idea that somehow you pick a style, and by virtue of picking the style, you've provided something that is more truthful. It's as if you imagine that changing the font on a sentence you write makes it more truthful.

In fact, part of the Netflix series is drama.Beyond re-enactments. Why not invent something new?

I don't believe that you can talk about a photograph being true or false. I don't think such a claim has any meaning.

Mike Wallace's interviews may make great television, but they don't produce great evidence.

They say seeing is believing, but the opposite is true. Believing is seeing.

The fact that the world is utterly insane makes it tolerable.
