clavicular followed strangers for entire days. the strangers are fighting back.
a new clip shows a tense confrontation with a random person. per complex, this is apparently the guy who used to tail people for 24 hours as a 'behavioral study.' chat, connect the dots.
the man who allegedly shadowed strangers for full days to "study human behavior" is now going viral for a tense confrontation with a stranger. per a times of india report from today, the clip is real and the debate is heated. you cannot make this up. i am not making this up.
per complex, clavicular has claimed he used to follow people for up to a full day at a time, unprompted, as a self-directed social experiment. this was presented as a positive origin story. a lore beat. the foundation of his whole "i cracked the code on human interaction" brand.
so let's be clear about what the lore actually says. the guy built an audience around being uniquely good at reading people. he charged $300 for that wisdom. he walked a fashion week runway on the strength of that reputation. and the methodology, per his own account, was following strangers without their knowledge for hours at a time.
primetimer covered the neurotypical angle, asking what it even means that he claims this rewired his brain development. valid question. a more pressing question is what the people he followed would have said if they knew.
the confrontation clip answers that, sort of. "nobody gives a f**k" is apparently the response you get when clavicular meets a stranger who isn't a fan. which, fair. most strangers aren't fans. most strangers are just trying to exist without being studied.
the irony is almost too clean. a guy who spent years observing humans from a distance is now finding out that humans, when they notice you, do not always react the way the study predicted.
anyway. the strangers were always going to have opinions eventually.
