Thoughts Of A Guy Named Mason

tiers of information

Chatgpt is halucinating so I will now stop using it to dump my ideas and instead i will write a blog post.

I am looking at how a video essay is made, often to me it seems these are simple the wikipedia article on the topic from a different perspective and with your own point to that.

So from that we extrapolate that the wikipedia article was likely a source for this video essay-well where did the wikipedia article gets its information? Typically they reference academic papers when it comes to factual stuff. putting this into a diagram we get.

Academic Papers - > Wikipedia Article - > Video Essay

Which abstracted becomes

Academic papers & studies - > Interpretive articles(secondary sources) - > Public media

Interesting. Well thats a pattern I can't find referenced anywhere? I'm by no means digging deeply it seems like a pretty niche area of study.
