Who Really Pays for the AI Boom?
Was: The on-screen source lines at 1:00 and 7:20 credit the IEA figures to “Energy and AI, 2026”.

History Repeats Every 80 Years. We Tested It.
Was: The trust card from 3:46 to 4:11 describes Pew’s question as trusting the government to do what is right “most / all of the time”.

History Repeats Every 80 Years. We Tested It.
Was: The titles “RECESSION STARTS” from 5:02 to 5:41 count the years of business-cycle peaks.
Now: They are peak years; NBER dates a recession from the month after a peak. Counting those months instead gives the same result.
