/lit/ - Literature

What does /lit/ think of him? Just watched his video on Mill and I couldn't help but think he sort of inserts his own ridiculous contemporary-woke flair on things. As one of the most egalitarian thinkers around, I think Mills idea that the barbarians cannot become civilized except through a Charlemagne or Akbar is absolutely right - look at what happened in Afghanistan.

This. Anglos are incapable of the world of forms and gaining gnosis. Whenever they are presented a metaphysical truth, all they can do is drag it down to the relative, pluralistic, and materialistic level thereby diminishing that truth. God? Can't prove he exist, and there is no point acting like He does. Consciousness, mind? Can't rove those either, only the material exists. Anglos are not philosophers by definition, not even Mill and philosophytube. Anglos are literally the drooling brainlet wojaks with vortices for a brain that drain the intellect of all non-anglos around them into a black hole of singularity of stupidity. Prove me wrong.

[Anonymous No.15831133]

In a severe lapse of judgement I watched all of his videos during the quarantine.
He's a genuine midwit. All the videos that he makes under the guise of being short crash-courses to a philosopher's body of work end up being too simplified to achieve that goal, and always end up as a jumping off point to talk about some tangentially related political philosophy talking point. This on top of his inflated sense of self importance makes him too grating to take seriously. Every other video ends with him restating his goal of "giving away his philosophy degree for free" to the poor underprivelaged masses who couldn't afford college tuition. One of the worst examples was his humble bragging about viewers whose "lives were saved" thanks to his mental health video.
His later videos drop the pretense of being educational and just became Contrapoints-lite, but replacing the few redeeming qualities Contra has with overly long poetry recitations and cringeworthy acting reel monologues.

disagree, the smarminess is much more
palpable with breadtubers. the skeptics just seem like people who arent quite smart enough yet, a problem with not being well engaged enough yet in the topic at hand rather than the pure self aggrandizment, and worse, knowing self aggrandizement of breadies. they bring up points they know might have nuance or could support the opposite position, but they consciously avoid it for the movement. skepties and eariler rightouds were just too dumb to understand different perspectives, breadies actively avoid and degrade them knowingly, so its much worse of a sin and much more two faced.

You're not wrong but the smarmy attitude exists just as prominently on the right. Just because they weren't smart enough to be nuanced doesn't change the fact that they're smug shits about it.
