@jeff @wjs That was all I could come up with too, but I still can’t make sense of the logic.. Maybe since they don’t understand the concept of cameras let alone video… perhaps the idea is they think “cleaning” will reveal the “true” world to those in the silo?

I dunno

@jeff @wjs This is the reason, and it's said explicitly. "They have to see" is said right before cleaning. Everyone cleans because everyone thinks the ones inside can't see.

Probably doesn't help that by then people are already not thinking straight.

They normally don't know what a video is. The though doesn't cross their heads.

@lia @wjs The show was approved with all the books already scheduled for future seasons. It's a long burn.

But they'd been telegraphing it since the beginning. We'd seen the green landscape already in the visor, we'd seen the big screen glitching and, most importantly, it's always the same flock of birds flying past each time.
