On: The Elizabeth Holmes documentary “You Can See Everything” is deceiving

You can just read Bad Blood, too, and skip the movie / hyperbole/ whatever

They're incredibly different things telling different stories. One doesn't replace the other.

your parent comment just wanted to get a shot of serotonin by chiming and showing off that they've read (or are merely aware of) the book

[greesil → xdavidliu]

No

[greesil → mjg59]

Incredibly different? It defies credulity?

[mjg59 → greesil]

Yes. The degree to which this presents a different experience is one I would not have found credible beforehand.

[greesil → mjg59]

I'll continue to exercise my disbelief in alternate narratives for this (rightfully) convicted felon then.

[tomjakubowski → greesil]

YCSE isn't an "alternative narrative" in the sense you're probably thinking. It makes no attempt to redeem Holmes. It shows starkly just how manipulative she is, in a way nothing else I've read or watched about her has done.

Documentaries and video in general are just dramatically, intensely worse mediums for communicating factual learnings compared to books and text in general.

If you're going into a Nathan Fielder documentary expecting a funnel of factual information, you must not know who that is.
