It started with a three-hour documentary about making shoes.
Slow stitching. Close-ups of leather. Sunday morning pacing. The kind of programming that hums softly while the coffee brews and the world hasn’t quite rebooted yet.
And then came the theory:
What if this isn’t about shoes at all?
What if it’s mind control?
Not the dramatic kind. No flashing lights. No secret frequencies. Just soft cultural sedation. Hungover citizens. Low-energy programming. Calm, compliant populations.
Shoe documentaries as social anaesthesia.
Ridiculous?
Of course.
But also… interesting.
