The industrial revolution has irreversibly changed how society and we as individuals within that society perceive and describe things. Less analogy to lived and experienced phenomena in the form of tales and myths and more mechanical breakdowns of shape, size, dimensions, and scientific measurements needed for reproduction in a factory.

Makes you wonder how future societies would describe phenomena among their members

A youtuber I follow has recently started a series where he takes a myth or supernatural subject and splits it into two parts: the first he presents it as a total believer, with the idea that the viewers pick it apart, then in the second he picks it apart.

You reminded me of the one on the Mothman sightings, where in the second part he made a really good point that if you ignore all the naming, the eyewitness descriptions sound like a man with a jetpack and red goggles.

Do you mind if I ask who?

I second this, sounds really interesting!
