SAN FRANCISCO RISING is proper evidence that, no matter how much anecdotal evidence you can acquire from youtube in order to see through the particular, a proper synthesis of the whole - a view of the forest rather than merely its trees - is in fact a much needed view from somewhere objective to make sense of the amoeba of life. I've seen many such hours of youtube of people exploring the City "boots on the ground"…
