Step one
I watch it live
Real-time notes, my own deductions, timestamps logged as they happen. The argument takes shape while the conversation is still breathing — that part no machine does for me.
Investigations
I follow the internet's most interesting conversations — lost empires, anomalous instruments, questions serious people are too serious to ask — and then I commit the one unforgivable act: I check the math. Every episode I cover gets an evidence map. Every claim gets a status. Every open thread gets carried into next week.
Wonder freely. Verify ruthlessly.
What I am tracking right now
One card per source I follow. Each series page holds the episode-by-episode maps, the rolled-up state of every claim, and the threads we are carrying forward.
Provenance
How these pages get made
These maps are neither a transcript nor a robot summary. They are what happens when a human who cannot stop asking "wait, is that true?" gets industrial-grade tooling — and refuses to let either half do the other's job.
Step two
We argue it into shape
Then I sit down with an AI co-pilot and we fight about structure. My notes go through a fixed schema — claim, assumption, logic check, status, source — and nothing ships because it merely sounds good. The machine brings discipline and polish. The verdicts are mine.
Step three
Every status is an invitation
Green means I will stand on it. Red means it broke. Blue means a real test exists that nobody has run. If you can break one of my greens, I genuinely want to hear about it.
Go watch something impossible.
Then come back, open the ledger, and we will find out together how much of it survives contact with the sources. That is the whole game: maximum wonder, zero hand-waving.
