Six million skeletons. Two hundred kilometers of tunnels. One very incomplete official story.

In this episode, we dig into the Paris Catacombs—not the tour-guide version, but the questions nobody wants you to ask. Why is curiosity criminalized? What happened during the chaos of regime changes and revolutions? And why does "fully explored" always come with restricted access?

We're not saying there's a secret underground city. We're saying the gaps in the story are bigger than anyone admits.

Topics we cover:

• The public health crisis that started it all (and what got left out)

• Why "unmapped" doesn't mean "unknown"

• Wartime resistance operations nobody talks about

• The cataphiles who built an underground cinema—with electricity

• What happens after you start asking questions you're not supposed to ask

• Why myths feel more complete than official reports

• Skepticism vs. cynicism (and why the difference matters)

No neat conclusions. No tidy endings. Just uncomfortable questions and the realization that some doors stay locked for a reason.

Was the “goofy laugh” really recorded from a kid who couldn’t stop laughing — or is that just another internet origin story that sounds better than the truth?

In this episode of Everything’s an Illusion, Amethyst and Mavic break down one of the most persistent online myths: that viral sounds and memes are secretly pulled from real trauma. We unpack how these stories mutate, why the visuals matter more than the facts, and how aesthetics can overwrite real human experiences.

Then, we end with a documented real-world case that sounds fake — but isn’t.

Nothing is ever quite what it seems.

Modern money isn’t broken by accident — it’s strained by design.

In this episode of Everything’s an Illusion, Amethyst and Mavic break down how debt-based money actually works, why interest guarantees that total debt can never be fully repaid, and how that imbalance quietly shows up in everyday life long before it’s officially acknowledged.

No predictions.

No panic.

No apocalyptic timelines.

Just the mechanics — and the warning signs people already recognize: working more for the same life, debt that stops feeling temporary, prices rising without added value, and “temporary” fixes that never seem to end.

This episode isn’t about when a system collapses.

It’s about why the math eventually stops lining up — and how people feel it before it’s admitted.
