Judging from Dave Davenport’s comments as a guest on just such a show many years ago, I’d say no. Well, not this soon, anyway. After a few more years, it’d be like discussing Bigfoot or Nessie. There’s enough “evidence” for some people to believe, but not enough solid evidence to convince everyone.
And I don’t think this host is reality blind. If they were, they shouldn’t be able to even acknowledge the concept of reality blindness yet. At the very least, they wouldn’t be able to discuss it in a rational manner.
I think consensus is that the reality blindness plague doesn’t effect people who already have a ridiculously abnormal standard for what is “believable.” Some pirate radio dude who believes in flying saucers and men in black and the Secret Government (correctly) and polar flips and the hollow Earth probably is a candidate for immunity.
This reminds me of that one guy from Starbuck Avenger who loved superheroes but was prevented from coming directly into contact with anything weird by the Coverup. Of course, the Coverup and Reality Blindness work in a fundamentally different way, so if this guy actually knows about Reality Blindness it’s unlikely for him to have more than a very light case.
Well, Sweetheart once referred to herself as “Floor 19 Captain”, so it’s at least 19 stories. I don’t know if there was ever any indication of how many floors might have been above Skin Horse.
I think 19 may be the top floor. I seem to remember the Department of Irradiation was on the 6th floor, with Jetpack Suppression being on a higher floor
It seems a bit ambiguous whether conspiracy guy looks out the window, sees Mecha-Annex One and doesn’t notice it because reality blidnness, and goes back to work — or just turns partway in his chair and shouts at the window without looking out, or glances out and doesn’t see it because it’s already passed.
To me, it looks like the guy is so busy spouting his conspiracy theories that he doesn’t notice a giant building/ robot stomping past the window. (Besides, his back is turned, but still…)
The website is called “FootPrint” … affiliated with Zeta Vincent and Foot?
I’m really, really hoping for a team-up here.
Appropriately, the wifi tower is also now called “footprint”.
Man, if I was teamed up with Foot, the two of us would leave the WEIRDEST crop-circles in the history of cereology! <3
Now I really want Foot to meet Hitty
Well, technically they’re no longer part of the shadow government so he’s still correct about the shadow government leaving no trace. ^_^
Damn, but that is strangely melancholy.
I’m “hearing” AT-AT stomps here…
Is this an analogy for watching C-SPAN?
Is someone suffering from reality blindness capable of seeing a show discussing reality blindness?
What about the host suffering from self-same reality blindness

I think it’s a case of an irrational person managing to be right.
♫ With cool-cat-like tread, upon our prey we steal…
I wish I could edit the above to be in all-caps.
The best sneaking song.

Sweet Uncle Leslie reports: SHAY GUY SAYS,”WITH COOL-CAT TREAD, UPON
OUR PREY WE STEAL….”( might be a quote)
Ooops.Left out yr word ‘Like’. Sorry, Shay.
Eh, it fits the meter now.
Just how tall is Annex One?

I thought the D of I was on the same floor as Skin Horse. Gonna have to go binge.
Man, conspiracy theorists ranting on YouTube just isn’t as cute these days is it was a year or two ago.
Oh Shaenon, this is why we love you
This one is so Jeff though. My innovation was putting it a conspiracy video channel run by the robot foot from Narbonic.
So, the game is a Foot!
Leave!
You’ll notice I didn’t say which
Would this be an example of not seeing an individual tree for scanning the forest (and exhorting others to do the same)?
Or maybe just not being able to see anything because you’re wearing such dark sunglasses.
