What to expect when you're expelled: A birth story.
Apr 21 2018
Every report on anything reveals something about the reporter's biases. But here we're taking a bit of license. We’re going to call this baby's prenatal preternatural knowledge a five-dimensional snapshot of the human world. A ton of information without commentary. This is not a Werner Herzog documentary. It's more like you left a camera on that could see all of human history up to the present, all over the world. No editing. It's not particularly entertaining, but it is educational.
In a Moment of Truth, Jeff Dorchen and famous moral philosopher Lou Rawls provide live coverage of a literal metaphorical childbirth, with sideline reports from the start of the ultimate thought experiment - leaving the comfort of the womb and being born as a human in this world of potential and advertising and Grammys for Best Male R&B Vocalist Performance.
