"I'm making a statement about a type of danger that doesn't arise from false facts. It doesn't arise from factually incorrect information. It's a more profound problem in our attitude." A fifty minute lecture on how to think about politics, in ways both shallow and profound. And, yes, it just happens to include a critique of Colleen Patrick-Goudreau.

"The problem is not that you believe the wrong things, but that you blame the wrong things: this is an error in the precedence of your reasoning."

14:37 "What these people didn't suspect, during those years, when money, fame, power, respect and sex seemed to be so easily gotten (by becoming a mouthpiece, by becoming a leader for the vegan movement)… what they did not suspect was that when the freak show stopped there would be no show at all."

Implicitly, this is a significant contrast to my old "manifesto" titled On Community, although it does not address the thesis of that video, directly, in any way: if you regard this as a manifesto, it is addressed to the youtuber (or podcaster) as a solitary intellectual dissident, cultural critic, commentator and comedian --not as the center of an incipient community, pulling together like-minded people (as per "the spirit season one") with an ambition to accomplish something more than they could ever attempt alone.
