ADD to visss.....
The context (I never realised until the last few months how dim 99.99% they had all become).
context = the likes of those 'influencers' actually have many more viewers than your 'mainstream' terrestrial - on your bum, tv
For four years I have bored myself to death living off grid with the phone for company 8pmish dozing off to one or other of the elite of world podcast (merely a broadcast) opinion.
Starting with the 'IDW' - look it up.. through 'heterodox' movement... ALL of them.
From Heather Heyling Brett Weinstein,1 Daum, scary Any Randite pretending to be Christian, Shapiro; Rubin ERIC, WEINSTEIN ... Friedman, down to the dreadful Fuller.. childmen Rogan and Brand... the worst of the lot Williamson
BY FAR the most interesting is Sarah Haider. First equal with Eric Weinstein (hre literally the god of that world many hang on his every word - myself only about half of them).
Sarah the most exciting by far...As a Pakistani naturalised in USA age early 40s.. fiercely intelligent dedicated mother and CARES what has happened to society...
She is the voice of today and tomorrow.
Most of the above - all in fact, have been or are part of the World's most serious writing via The Atlantic magazine etc...
All have attempted to deal with the recent bloodbath wars.. religion and and 'culture wars'.
and the recent US issues will be as we speak revving up forces in UK....many seriously think Farrage in the running for next PM...
(bankrolled as he would be by trump)
that must be stopped with FAR more intelligent mature discourse from the 'left'.. or just sane moderates...
NOW
No one comes close to Haider, and even now Sam Harris, in the UK... but both have glaring holes that need to be understood, i riff upon.
substack audio
Please can we get 'The Left' right
you would have to listen to this podcast first to get my points... and a few of my past wafflings for a little contextand some already made from the last few months still only in my phone..(and someone else's)
no camera can capture lastereve how weirdly still and auroraish...
too cold to... think of anything 'new' - except it is nice when years of actual thought- sam harris incapable of...precipitates on autopilot at icy dawn into almost all you need to know
And i shall duel anyone who says otherwise... with my one and only need: loads of bananas.
ALL they can speak: = HOPE...a 30 or 25 year old sure has a whole world of foolery they could smash to bits if they would just ... let it all out - authoritatively, now...with some sane guidance in the background...
And real education. Which IS 'constructive critique' .. of what matters. Not what doesn't.
(As great Israeli writer Amos Oz knew...one of the very few in modernity...
ditto Coetzee... perhaps the last time the Nobel was un 'captured' and given to REAL writing )
REF:
Audio only
(preferable and you can hear the dominatrix muting her...superior)

And who would have thought, ("the world's most influential public intellectual" as most term him), who i use for some years as guaranteed way to fall asleep within 2 minutes of TRYING to listen to him...
Had me gripped to my fone and laughing i think it was the second f word usage.... to critique fully soon...
"... [ XXX fuck..]..."
moral of the story.. the TWENTY FIVE year olds now need to LEARN.. what actually happened.
And how to fix it...my age group have No hope as they cannot...think...
nothing i share or regale is special, i merely retained inside the pretty good universal mentality and modernity of the fourth quarter of last century...period
