Where to Watch Ex Libris
- neuroparadoxJuly 29, 2025This is like the opposite to one of those shows about swamp people 🐊 Actually, low-key perfect, and gives me some hope for the future of humanity.... i.e. we (humanity) have institutions set up to help any citizen access close to the entirety of our collective human knowledge! Is that not fucking crazy and amazing and awesome?! This doc is absolutely intriguing and interesting and somehow terrifying on the same level that it is inspiring. +Pretty impressive for a documentary not to need narration IMHO....my only personal gripe is that the chapters aren't suppppper cohesive so I dunno...just the contrast between subjects I think could have been shuffled around a bit lol so I guess I don't like the order of the chapters but each chapter is great in itself anyway so I'm not bitching too hard 🤣🤣
