1/ A few people are mad at me because a philosopher who doesn't like me created a 2.5 hour video about why I'm wrong about GD stuff and I'm (obviously!) not going to watch it. (GamerGaters were the last people who asked me to watch 2-hour rebuttal YouTube videos.) The problem is:

4/ pretty thorough when it comes to documentation (whatever else you think about it) and then lazily, breezily posing well-poisoning questions that she wouldn't have if she'd spent a tiny bit of time reading. There's nothing to be gained from engaging with someone like this. Fin.

The best compliment I can give Jesse is that he has this totally unearned sense of his own rationality and intelligence because he's cultivated a fanbase that lets him feel that way Jesse is almost never the worst person in a Jesse Singal thread

His followers generally display the same *type* of arrogant ignorance as Jesse but far more blatantly and consistently, it's a Dunning-Kruger whirlwind up in here

Philosophy tube identifies the behaviour of rightwing mouthpieces as essentially seeking to make their audiences feel clever. Some of that at play here definitely.
