@FeralPhilosophy_mw Gibbon was a historian and wrote The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire which is considered the one of the best histories on Rome.
@Mark-Walsh Rudyard is someone that I choose to represent the younger generation. He is half my age. It's fun to listen to his thoughts and alt history takes. Rudyard allows me to think the future generation is much smarter and more thoughtful than the ones that came before him. I have children near his age and also younger than him, it makes me happy that he exists, I have some faith in our future, again. Btw, it was a great interview, allowing him to speak and sharing your opinions also, i watched the entire thing.
I dont want to say Kid Rudyard but this kid's genius is scary. Keep crushing it mate. Love your channel I am a 44 year old teacher degreed in Literature and Neuroscience and speak German and taught myself others on my world travels currently live in Saudi on mountaineering in Kenya atm. Work as a Nomad and Investor. You are simply awesome at such a young age. Somehow if you had a giant stache you'd remind me of a young Nietzsche.
Rudyard is so articulate explaining these complex ideas ~ @ 16:00 the gravity and ramifications of this idea cannot be overstated (regarding natural selection, or lack there of, in a decadent society)

@@weston06. I strongly disagree with this sentiment.

The "gods" of our world similarly hate the Internet, because with it the mass of humanity can rise above those "gods" and throw them down.
ohh please this guy takes the kernel of truth and extrapolates however he wants … there’s other sources that actually do a better job explains the current times without the bombastic speculations this guy brings
This is just an interview covering a broad range of topics, he’s not gonna come into an interview with hours of prep, that’s not how interviews work. Check out his videos, he does a great job of simplifying complex topics to a general audience, and he’s far more well-read and meticulous than you seem to think. Don’t be so quick to judge.
I really don’t understand why at the end you ask “American progressives” not to be upset with Rudyards opinions. It’s like asking the Mullahs of Tehran to introduce topless sunbathing. Maybe you should just figure which audience you want. That would also allow you to make a more interesting and focused podcast.
What the other commenter said. Why would you not encourage your viewers to be open-minded? The channel’s called Feral Philosophy, after all. There’s this idea that by an influencer being unfiltered about his beliefs, he filters out the members of his audience that disagree with him, while the ones that don’t disagree with him, or don’t disagree enough to leave, stay. This guy having all sorts of people on his show will filter out the close-minded people and leave only the open-minded people, which is a great audience to have, even if it’s small.
There is just something so artificial about this guest. He says the same corny jokes on all his interviews. And he goes on to tout the predictive model of his computer models in predicting stuff that already happened being the reason for his predictions about our present time and the coming civil conflict he is predicting. Just the way he poses, looks off to the left when he talks, he just seems like the kind of guy who likes to smell his own farts.
He's said everything that he has to say. He's had the luxury of growing up with the internet and nerding out hardcore. "Predicting" things that have already happened is nonsense. He says it in every interview. If it's already happened, you cannot "predict" it.
He does smell his own farts. He treats history like is written by the victors as sacrosanct. It doesn't even cross his mind that most of history is omitted and if anything a clusterfuck that culd with much effort than a life time for a short period of time could be partially reconstructed showing the many ongoings, but not for what time frames he is talking about, and always incomplete. He is book smart and thinks he has figured it out. The uncanny thing is he is wright but for the wrong reasons.
He doesn't know what he's talking about. He's young and doesn't have much wisdom. He is ignorant and thinks he knows everything. He will make a blanket statement about an entire century that is untrue and nobody questions him on it. One of his interviews he said there was no war or disease in the mid 20th century.
Enlightenment and industrialization switching from a young and upcoming civ model to becoming the dominant global model. There are individual players, but that's the monumental century long conflict that set the stage
