Is this just standard click bait or is this guru territory? I've thought for a while that Alex O'Connor has verged into the guru realm. He has gone from militant vegan, to rising atheist, to heterodox staple.

Is he a guru or is he just a normal youtuber?

Also - I have no way to assess the claims made in the video. However, it is telling that Alex's guest is the co author on yudkowsky's newest book "If Anyone Builds it, Everyone Dies."

If we disregard whether or not religion is true...is it good or bad for a society to be religious?

Main predictions are 1. As VP and then president abdicates or 2. We are at war and he stays in office via presidential war powers.

1. The 12th amendment doesn't allow the first option

2. There is little chance we will have a war that prevents elections (elections happened during the Civil War and WW2). Even if Trump did use war to cancel an election, the constitution still boots him from office at the term deadline (the 20th amendment defines when a term ends and the 22nd allows no exceptions for the 2 term rule)

In summary, professor Jiang is an idiot.

I don't like Hasan, but framing him as "the same" as fuentes is ridiculous.

Within the first minute Sam says "the Democratic party is unrecoverable." Who still thinks Sam is a democrat? He spends so much of his political energy shitting on the democratic party - and even said, before the 2024 election, that he would rather vote for Romney than Kamala.

I think this should be a guru attribute. Pretending to be in a political camp that you truly arent in.

I have only really listened to Scott talk about economics and masculinity, but i hear he is a war hawk. Has he discussed legality and how much it affects the war as a whole?

Is it...

1. Being part of a denomination that is recognized as Christian by the majority of other Christians?

2. Having certain beliefs like believing the Apostles creed?

3. Doing something?
