Social Experiment: Perception, Projection, and the Texas Floods at Camp Mystic

In this video, I break down the intent behind a recent TikTok I posted on July 5, 2025, shortly after the devastating Texas floods impacted Camp Mystic, a Christian summer camp. The video included two simple, factual statements: 🌀 “Floods have biblical purpose.” ⛪ “That was a Christian camp.” I offered no opinion, no judgment, and no interpretation—yet the emotional and often violent reactions I received revealed a deeper conversation we need to have about projection, bias, and the way we interpret meaning in moments of collective grief. This video unpacks the why behind the post, what I hoped to observe, and what we can learn about ourselves and each other in moments like this. I also want to state clearly: I do not believe that anyone deserved the devastation they experienced, and my heart goes out to all those affected. 🆘 Resources for Texas Flood Relief & Support If you or someone you know was impacted by the Texas floods, here are trusted places to get help or donate: ✅ American Red Cross – Central & South Texas Chapter 💻 https://www.redcross.org/local/texas/... ✅ Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) 💻 https://tdem.texas.gov 📞 TDEM Disaster Assistance: 844-844-3089 ✅ Camp Mystic Flood Recovery Fund 🔍 Check the official Camp Mystic website or verified GoFundMe listings ✅ Feeding Texas (food bank network) 💻 https://www.feedingtexas.org 🗣 Join the Conversation: Have you ever said something neutral and watched people assign a whole narrative to it?
