Summary: Andy shares his first impressions of TikTok, playing clips of people describing visions and psychic predictions about the war in Ukraine, and others repeating affirmations such as I am safe, I’m healthy, I’m well. He considers the need for recognition and accomplishment that may lie behind people presenting themselves as able to help by doing nothing, and notes earlier predictions others had made.
