Get their in-depth guide at 80000hours.org/drgeofflindsey.Want to know why actors in Golden Age Hollywood movies sound different from people today? A legend has grown up that it was all because an Australian and a Canadian invented a fake accent that studios forced their stars to use.

Anyone who wants to cling to these symbols today is totally disregarding the reasons they were chosen!Thank you to all my patrons for supporting the channel: patreon.com/drgeofflindseyCoal truck © Copyright Jaggery geograph.org.uk/photo/4456373
