Lindybeige is also problematic; he's a climate change denier and has expressed some other troubling right-wing views. I have no proof, but I'm fairly confident he has a lot of awful views that he just doesn't talk about. Also, his videos are FILLED with opinion-presented-as-fact, and he's generally terrible at parsing the data he does use.

I can help with this one. Here's a "fun" essay.

And here's a totally random sampling of the thoughts in that essay:
A word that simply describes you is only insulting to you if the person you are is bad. If you are bad, then surely you deserve to be insulted, and I would rather that you become good than merely change your name. If you are a good person, then the word which names you is simply a word which names you. A name is a word useful for referring to things. The word negro is seldom used these days, despite its being a useful accurate and unambiguous one which names a type of person. If someone tells you that you should not use the word, then they are, more powerfully than anyone else, suggesting that there is something shameful about being negroid. Is there? If there isn’t, then there can be no offence in using the perfectly good word. The word black by contrast has many negative connotations (black market, black magic, black-leg, blackmail), and, perhaps worse than that, is very ambiguous, since some people include Indians as “blacks” and some don’t (a useless fix for this is to called Indians “Asians”, but “Asians” includes the Chinese). I am a Caucasoid, and you can call me that a thousand times without causing offence. It happens to be true. So what?

Hehehe most people are definitely NOT “good”.
“Good” and “bad” aren’t really how the human mind works, anyway, but the vast vast VAST majority of folks are motivated/imprisoned by reactionary fear. That doesn’t make them/us inherently “bad”, per se, but it makes them highly persuadable. And once you are letting other people tell you how to think and what to do, you are eminently capable of all kinds of “bad” things.

There is no “good guy” gene.

In the Army, a friend once told me the majority of people will choose comfort.

Contemporarily, this is why progressive video game communities might decry AI and tell you to go screw yourself if you use ai and that we should boycott AI. And then when a popular new release, Arc Raiders, openly uses AI for all voice acting and says they will continue to, everyone hems and haws and excuses because they just like the shooting and looting in the game because it does it well. Future releases can be decried, but let us have this one.

As example.

Reminds me of the whole cloth mother/wire mother thing, but I haven't had my coffee yet.

Why do they always choose the most sinister names? Does bro even mythology.

It's worse than choosing sinister names. They choose names meant to deify themselves. Prometheus - the man that literally stole fire from the gods themselves and brought it to mankind? That's how someone like Bezos sees himself. He is a gift to mankind and we should all thank him for what he's doing for us.

I will never NOT go apoplectic whenever Palantir or Anduril come up in conversation. Just the most sinister use of words they should keep out of their filthy mouths.

Prometheus isn't even that fucking creative. These CEOs are just soulless parasites. I swear five to ten people could be abducted by aliens and the world would immediately, if briefly, be a better place.
