Yeah this is excellent. I wish he would produce more of this content, rather than his diet-right "mAh FrEeSpeCh" normie political commentary. I've actually heard he was an excellent evo-bio professor by former students. What a waste, but I guess it's cool he gets to hang out with Rogan now, so good for him I suppose.

I was curious so I went briefly down the rabbit hole, and I was not impressed. His reasoning is specious at best.

In what way?

I was going to offer up in detail but I probably would have triggered others here, so I'll be oblique: QAnon is considered by many to be a prophet.

I've been politically engaged for decades and this is the first time I've been terrified about the outcome of an election.

"mAh FrEeSpeCh" is why we have the mouse problem, or more accurately why his concerns aren't addressed.

I honestly don't know how this link could be explained any more, so shrug.

In the same interview he explains the whole mask debacle, which it seem the USA has 100% reversed months after this interview, as he predicted. "mAh FrEeSpeCh" I guess.

This is incoherent. He speaks on cultural/political/economic issues that he has very little actual interest or knowledge on and comes to very obtuse and banal conclusions. The IDW's schtick is to make your "common sense" feel scientific through flawed logic and appealing to your identity by saying words/phrases like "reason", "logic", and "free speech", without actually practicing the tenets of any of them.

The IDW constantly touts the need for experts, who stand in the face of political correctness, while hypocritically not being experts themselves in the subjects they always want to talk about on public platforms.

To relate this back to technology, it's very similar to designing apps. Everyone feels like they are an expert app designer, simply because they can identity that something feels off about an app, and because they use apps everyday. In fact, they aren't expert app designers, and they are simply identifying problems that most people can identify, and have no real solutions to offer. But because the pain of using the app is shared by many people, a lot of people latch on to loud mouth non-experts for pointing out the obvious and making them feel smart.
