I just watched the recently released 4-hour-long documentary about Elon Musk
Gotta say it's like a bunch of monkeys interviewing and expressing their thoughts about a human
No thanks, I'd rather judge the man by his work
On a serious note, somebody who knows very little to nothing about Elon Musk will certainly walk away with a very negative image of him after watching this film
That, as Scott Adams called it, is the documentary effect. Virtually any documentary that you watch will convince you of the point it was intended to drive home. A documentary making the opposing point would be just as convincing
If you are easily influenced by the documentary effect, you are living at a low rung of awareness
