>Varg is an unreliable narrator


this is what makes his youtube channel a true masterpiece. what is he going to do next? replace something on his car? teach his children how to plant trees? buy his wife more blonde hair product and subtly leave the box on her pillow? recreate the hobbit as it should've been filmed, scene for scene with his captive audience family?

he's normie tier internetweird so super accessible. when you start going deep down the rabbit hole, the homeless drifters who carry weapons and upload from mcdonalds wifi hotspots every 6 months and its hours of content of them hitchhiking and meeting fellow travellers- youtube is the stuff of absolute artistic expression.

Peterson does a good job at conducting himself and he is a pleasure to watch debate even though I don't agree with all his views. Nonetheless, his psychology lectures are fascinating, and as a psychology student who is planning to go into clinical psyc for grad school his lectures are a must watch especially his lecture on discrediting Emotion Intelligence (EQ).

Zizek I agree with more, especially his views against neoliberalism.

Varg is a hack and hypocrite who hates the French government but collects neetbucks because his wife apparently has autism (which he claims to have cured somehow naturally because science is a Jewish invention).

Not familiar enough with Pinker.

None of them. Modern intellectualism is dead, and it's corpse buried beneath an avalanche of misdirection and useless rhetoric. Out of all these, Zizek is the only one I lend any degree of seriousness towards, and even that is far overshadowed by the towering intellects that preceded him.

overexposure and the giraffe problem (all the low hanging branches have been picked clean).

it's also way more important now to be presentable and a good speaker, something previous generations could avoid completely by being shut in hermits who devote 30 years to some piece of work. does anyone seriously think today if they sat down and wrote and thought and experimented for 30 years in isolation they would be relevant in 2048? no, we have moved beyond the genius of man, computers eclipsed our ability to memorise and do symbol matching and today you need to be a collaborative and social dynamo to do any productive work- and that work is sort of like removing the scaffolding and clearing away the paint cans from some freshly painted masterpiece. the only true value left is in the idiot pleasure of doing things for mechanical enjoyment, which is what you see in peak civilisations, the religion of the empty mind always just before the final spark of life goes out.
