Ever been temporarily blinded by oncoming headlights at night? You're not alone. In this episode, Amethyst and Mavic dive into why modern LED headlights feel more like weapons than safety features—and why the official data claiming "everything's fine" might be missing the point entirely.

We break down:

Why crash data doesn't capture the real problem

The one-sided "safety" benefit that puts everyone else at risk

How dead drivers can't file reports (dark, but true)

Why your bright headlights might be creating the accident you're trying to avoid

If you've ever squinted your way through a dark road wondering if those are brights or just regular headlights anymore, this one's for you.

Six million skeletons. Two hundred kilometers of tunnels. One very incomplete official story.

In this episode, we dig into the Paris Catacombs—not the tour-guide version, but the questions nobody wants you to ask. Why is curiosity criminalized? What happened during the chaos of regime changes and revolutions? And why does "fully explored" always come with restricted access?

We're not saying there's a secret underground city. We're saying the gaps in the story are bigger than anyone admits.

Topics we cover:

• The public health crisis that started it all (and what got left out)

• Why "unmapped" doesn't mean "unknown"

• Wartime resistance operations nobody talks about

• The cataphiles who built an underground cinema—with electricity

• What happens after you start asking questions you're not supposed to ask

• Why myths feel more complete than official reports

• Skepticism vs. cynicism (and why the difference matters)

No neat conclusions. No tidy endings. Just uncomfortable questions and the realization that some doors stay locked for a reason.

Was the “goofy laugh” really recorded from a kid who couldn’t stop laughing — or is that just another internet origin story that sounds better than the truth?

In this episode of Everything’s an Illusion, Amethyst and Mavic break down one of the most persistent online myths: that viral sounds and memes are secretly pulled from real trauma. We unpack how these stories mutate, why the visuals matter more than the facts, and how aesthetics can overwrite real human experiences.

Then, we end with a documented real-world case that sounds fake — but isn’t.
