I learned about the arc lamp when I was a kid, watching Connections on PBS. John Burke explains it in one episode, and it appears during the title sequence of every episode. IIRC, it was invented to replace theater stage lights, where previously were lit by oil lamps, that had a tendency to start the set on fire.
They made fun of airing sesame street in middle eastern countries, but if you think about it…really think about it l…Sesame Street is like some of the best western propaganda out there, and was being placed in front of young children and their mothers (who themselves were likely obedient/subservient to their husbands).
Like, really, there’s no better counterterrorism than wholesome propaganda for kids.
