Imo, it means someone who devotes the majority of their life to an intellectual pursuit, whether a useful one or not. Usually that means as a career, unless you're wealthy enough to be an amateur.
>>
>>26556978

Long term dedication to a subject beyond it's currency in social situations. You don't learn about something because it allows you to look smart/cool/quirky or because it is the flavour of the month (i.e. atheism), you learn it because you are genuinely interested.

I think the point isn't as much what politics there are but rather how they're sourced.
But a lot of them aren't really designed as political or educational content. It's more like teasers. Like minute physics.

I've stopped caring about being correct and just enjoy the challenge of reaching decent conclusions. So I can watch some of that stuff and use it as a base but I never really considered taking those ideas I get as serious ideas. When you think about it it's fairly obvious how much work there would be to actually know.

Their entire range of editors are just amazing. I don't even see why people think extra credits is sensible to consider. It's like nobody watches those videos with pen and paper and draw it out.

Conjecture essentially. GYP tends to present the 'flaws' (as it pertains to games it's usually just that there's room for subjective interpretation) in their ideas.
I think extra credits show themselves at their worst in their Firefall episodes. It's like they haven't even given the game a shot.

AnCap is the probably the most unfeasible of all the arnarchisms and that's really saying something. I like a Steven Molyneux video here and there but lets not get ahead of ourselves. No matter how good it looks on paper, all anarchism requires the destruction of a state (a wildly unlikely event) AND the continuation of lawlessness which goes against human nature. Our current system of order was built on the darwinism that anarchists, especially anarcho-capitalists like to wank off to and would spring right back up again if the state was gone tomorrow.

Kind of, there are some really faggy AnCaps that have come out of the woodwork to signal against Trump lately. The hippy element of AnCap thought and libertarianism has gotten out of hand, you have people whose heads would explode if you read them Rothbard's essays on the Miracle of Chile and the '92 LA Riots or anything by pic related.

Basically if you're gonna go AnCap, don't be a fucking faggot. Listen to Chris Cantwell and read the Formalist Manifesto.

DfP isn't bad, I know the guy who runs that too. Interestingly enough, my issue with him is the opposite of CF- he's a bit too much like a normie.

Supposedly he really has issues with Anime Girls Rustle Jimmies (RIP in peace) and Counter-Signal Memes for Fashy Goys.
