We’re well into August and the program is into the final sprint. But one of our researchers, Kara Kittel, took some time out to make a montage of movie moments featuring the word “protocol,” and it is both hilarious and unexpectedly insightful and revealing, casting an interesting light on our ambiguous love-hate relationship with the protocols we’ve built around ourselves. Enjoy and share!

This week’s Summer of Protocols newsletter is a fun one. A montage of movie moments featuring the word “protocol” put together by researcher Kara Kittel https://paragraph.xyz/@protocolized/protocol-protocol
Key research finding from SoP: Movies just love the word “protocol”
The use of "protocol" in this context was particularly resonant (as someone raised Catholic). Protocol as a weaponization of "divine order" is a scary and all too real pill that many are coerced into swallowing (whether they know it or not).
i would pay $3 for a 60 second version that's just the word protocol spliced from each of these scenes rapid fire style
This is funny I will never use the word again
Nooooo We’re trying to *promote* usage of the word
is it so uncommonly used word?
May continue then
