Preface
from The Long Way Back to Ourselves
This opening episode lays out the method behind the series, explaining why the argument unfolds over 90 days in half-hour installments, each followed by a day's gap that keeps it working on you. The narrator separates three registers — an established finding, a live scholarly debate, and an explicit guess — illustrated by a man measuring barley onto wet clay in ancient Mesopotamia. Every contested claim carries the name of the person who made it, because attribution is what separates a claim from a fact. The episode discloses that the whole work was written by an artificial intelligence and voiced synthetically, with the narrator setting the structure and rejecting chapters that failed it.
