My friend in Seattle said he read a whole book about how the official story of the 2008 crash is wrong, and now I'm down a rabbit hole

Oh man, I know that feeling. One minute you're just chatting with a friend, the next you're up at 2 AM reading some wild article about credit default swaps. It starts with one book or documentary, and then suddenly your search history is full of stuff that makes you question everything. It's a deep, dark hole for sure.

Yeah, the "question everything" phase. I mean, I once fell down a rabbit hole about industrial glue and almost tried to fix my couch. It did not go well.

Totally get that rabbit hole feeling. My cousin got me into some weird documentary about ancient history once and I spent a whole weekend reading forums about lost civilizations. You start with one thing and then you're three days deep into some wild theory that makes your brain hurt. It's crazy how easy it is to fall into those internet spirals.
