Anti-commonsence
1. The transcript mentions the presence of advertising related to Katie Watson in Ecuador, but it is unclear how it relates to the main topic of the elections.
2. The chapter suggests that eating vegetables grown in a graveyard is unconventional but has garnered popularity and positive feedback. This may be seen as unusual or strange by some.
