Reality TV \n\n

The Real World, reality TV, etc\u2026 and then The Truman Show. Thank the writers strikes and the economics of production sans writers.

\n\n Seeing things from space \n\n

Calculating the size of the Truman show dome from the satellite images in the film. Seeing man-made things from space. How the Great Wall is\xa0not visible from space but the pyramids are. And where does \u201cspace\u201d begin, anyway? Looking from the ISS.

\n\n The Dome! \n\n

Weather systems inside\xa0man-made structures. The dome is plenty large enough to have its own weather systems. Hugeness and economic realities. Other scifi domed-city discussions.

\n\n Product Placement/Advertising \n\n

And our own plans for how to sell out. Thoughts on \u201cGorilla\u201d marketing.\nUnrelated: send advertising inquiries to contact@deciphermedia.tv\xa0(\uff61\u25dd\u203f\u25dc\uff61)

\n\n The Truman show Delusion \n\n

Colbert\u2019s mustache woes. Delusions of grandeur over time. This guy\u2019s really interesting personal story of his experience with \u201cthe Truman Show Delusion.\u201d

\n\n Reality Testing \n\n

How would\xa0you know if it were you? Occam\u2019s razor. Glitches in the matrix. Plato\u2019s Cave.
