the problem with this guy is that his "well meant" advice to young men is often mixed with ideological bullshit. He's constantly trying to push anti-marxism and anti-postmodernism down your throat by trying to make it relatable to you ("don't like pc? well that's [scapegoat] for ya"). Not saying that those opinions are perse wrong but he should at least be intellectually upfront and honest about his stuff. Let those people see for themselves what they agree or disagree with.
Ofc he just wants to distract his audience from the fact that much of the isolation and misery that young people nowadays face stems from capitalism. Giving braindead young men life advice is the perfect opportunity to blame capitalism's failures on some imaginative marxist movement infiltrating western thuoght. It's always the evil cultural marxists and french intellectuals plotting the collapse of western civilization yadda yadda.
He is so wrong about so many things especially in regards to philosophy and the fact that he keeps recommending that stupid stephen hicks book just makes it even more obvious. Anyone who is well-read in postmodern philosophy and marxism knows that he is so full of shit. Ofc his audience eats this shit up because they've never read a fucking book outside of school.
I wish he had the balls to accept richard wolff's debate request.
