Sv3rige: Anti-Hospital Hysteria Makes Hypocrites of Us All.

09 October 2018 [YT link]

Sv3rige is known his paranoid, pseudo-scientific opposition to the hospital system, and his creating/propounding conspiracy theories about the evils of doctors and modern medicine. What happens when he (or someone he loves) gets sick and needs to go the hospital? You'll see. :-/

#ReplaceChristmas ("New Atheism" Needs New Holidays)

23 September 2018 [YT link]

Raising children without Christmas is a real challenge: and you can't just offer a critique of Christianity, you need to replace the ritual with something better. Please press this issue (as a positive, creative challenge) with all of the secular activists and atheists you know: online or IRL. I believe this will be the first post under the hashtag #ReplaceChristmas and I hope that this will spark some new thoughts (and new efforts) from "New Atheist" youtubers who have had nothing new to talk about for years (including Jaclyn Glenn, the Amazing Atheist, Richard Dawkins and the rest).

On Critical Thinking: Carly Taylor's False Facts About Birth Control.

30 August 2018 [YT link]

I'm a critic of "critical thinking" itself: it's become an excuse for the worst elements of higher education, and a distraction from more difficult problems of whether or not the student (or the instructor) actually cares; whether or not there's a tutorial process in which the instructor sees and corrects the mistakes the student is making, questions their methods, assumptions and motives, or even shows them why it matters how much they care. We tend to use words like "precision" and "accuracy" rather than "caring", but they mean little more than "caring about the details", caring that you've understood what you've read, or even caring that you're being understood in what you've written. A great deal of the process of learning and teaching (and political organization!) is really about caring —and that's inconvenient for an era of (frankly uncaring) university education, in which it's supposed to be a trivial matter if the students (or even the teachers) do not care.

The comments section is on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/a_bas_le_ciel/

With September, school starts, and I definitely do not have time to maintain a youtube comment section (although the quality of comments in the past month has been higher than at any other point in the channel's history).

27 August 2018 [YT link]

Some people were asking, "Is it really such a big deal if someone has wasted 10 years of their life?" And, roughly, they were talking about a decade leading up to turning 30. I'm not here to lie to you, kid: it really is a big deal, and you've got to face up to the horrendous consequences of your own "lost decade", if that's what you've done. You can go back to school; you can get a credential; but you're not remotely compensating for what you've lost, in terms of the development of the mind.

Vegans: We're More Hated than Jehovah's Witnesses.

Something that might be intriguing the first time people see it will become resented the tenth time people see it: when it becomes a regular obstruction to their daily lives. There's a lot of public resentment (and mockery) directed at Jehovah's Witnesses and Hare Krishnas… but really, if you're honest with yourself, what "Cube of Truth" demonstrators routinely do (as vegans) will create far more resentment.

Activism, Puritanism & Separation of Church-and-State.

12 August 2018 [YT link]

The (current) tradition of political pluralism (incongruously) has its origins in Puritanism (in English-speaking countries like England, Canada and the USA), and this shapes popular modes of activism as well as profound assumptions about the function and limits of the law (e.g., "Can circumcision be made illegal when we have clear scientific knowledge of the harm being done?" e.g., "Can/should the government have an active role in changing people's diets (by coercion) when we have clear scientific knowledge of the harm being done?").

Is Cory McCarthy Racist? Is Tara McCarthy Racist? YOU DECIDE!

10 August 2018 [YT link]

Cory McCarthy claims that his words have been edited to make him appear to be racist. In this video, you can hear his "philosophy" UNEDITED: you be the judge. Of course, this video is not your only source of information…

^ I notice that this web-page is now somewhat (self-)censored compared to what it used to be… but…

And she has a forthcoming book, published with/by "Vox Day", whose political platform you'll find summarized here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vox_Day#Political_views

MEANWHILE, this channel has a whole playlist of videos discussing "Racism and/in Vegan Politics", and this does include several videos dealing with Tara and Cory respectively. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZEkgohG7k7otvz8UHrY0I58cacC2mzoD

Some of these videos have been banned (by youtube) in some countries, despite their self-evident purpose in offering political criticism of the racist views concerned. Youtube censorship does not distinguish between anti-racism and pro-racism (not even when there's a disclaimer on-screen, not even when the critique is very bluntly stated as condemnation, etc.).
