The Pokemon Professor Cult: An Exploration of a Complex System

This video isn't about one situation, or about a person, or even a group of people. It's about a system, THE system that creates the people we blame. We will talk about complex group dynamics, frameworks of identity, passion, love, and complacency. We will talk about where we should have drawn the line, and why we still won't. We will talk about who we become when we subject ourselves to the system. Yes, it is that deep.
