Now You See It, Now You Don’t: Finland Doesn’t Exist

Episode 09 | Now You See It, Now You Don't: Finland Doesn't Exist

There are some things you just know are true. Like that Finland exists. But it doesn't. Neither does Australia. And New Zealand's looking kind of iffy as well. In fact, there are many things that you think are real, but aren't. Like birds. They aren't real either.

LAPSUS LINGUAE:

• At 20:17, I mispronounced the word "homogeneity"
• NOTE: I do NOT mispronounce the name Henri Tajfel, but most people do (the "j" makes a "y" sound in Polish)
