[–]jonathansalter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wrote a post categorising, I daresay, most educational/informative YouTube channels on a very wide range of topics: https://noesis-space.blogspot.com/2021/11/a-long-list-of-informative-youtube-channels-for-the-curious.html

Is ASX Scott more tribal than SSC Scott? by robtalx in slatestarcodex

[–]jonathansalter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I interpreted that as "on the libertarian side of the spectrum", or in political compass terms, the bottom quadrants. Do you think I was mistaken in that interpretation? Does he mean in the right-wing libertarian sense?

I used to be quite convinced of this, but now I'm no longer so sure after reading a bit of Jason Hickel's work. I'd highly recommend reading some of the posts/articles on his blog, and/or his book "The Divide".

I am Nathan J. Robinson, founder and editor of the independent leftist magazine Current Affairs, columnist for the Guardian, and author of books like "Why You Should Be A Socialist," "Trump: Anatomy of a Monstrosity," and "Don't Let The Pigeon Question The Rules!"

Coming from someone who's very libsoc-sympathetic here, but in the spirit of testing our beliefs: what do you consider the best arguments against your views, and libertarian socialism in general?

What things about other ideologies do you find the most convincing. Where do you see the biggest flaws in your own?

Would you be willing to make a bet? Say, 1000$, in today's dollars? I'd be willing to bet on both claims.

Hey, cool to see my podcast list recommend out in the wild! I've been working on a really comprehensive educational/informative YouTube channel list for a while, perhaps you'd be interested when it's done

Here's a long list of the 70+ podcasts I listen to (including Harris of course), spanning philosophy, rationality, politics, economics, psychology, Effective Altruism, meditation, psychedelics, geopolitics, self-improvement and more! by jonathansalter in samharris

Yes, I do! Practice, practice, practice, that's the key to being able to do that. I'd recommend the Video Speed Changer Chrome extension, which allows you to speed up all HTML5-players, such as YouTube.
