    the true sign of the times changing is that its now a dr strange beard and no longer a goatie and jeez i love it what a time to be alive. also yes you are very sexy, love them english cheekbones

    Also I happened to flip back to your Race Pt. 1 video from 11 months or so earlier than this and over there (a) your face looks slightly less angular then, (b) the lighting in the past is harsher, (c) the lack of set background and general bright white feel in the past makes the composition of the overall video less nice; these might be some of the factors that changed to make everyone swoon in your direction? IDK, your voice hasn't apparently changed and that's the most important part for talky videos anyway :3.

    Ran out of IDEA channel episodes to watch so now I'm here >.>. Anyway, just a note about the media/format/youtubeness; I think six times during this video I clicked on it to pause it but accidentally clicked the big invisible bottom annotation… thing and got switched over to another video… in the same tab, so coming back reset this video to the beginning and required flailing about the seek bar a bit. Not sure how many options you have with these things but if they let you use the 'open other video in new tab and auto-pause this video' function that some parts of youtube have it'd be a much nicer way to link things IMO.

    I'd just like to point out that they scrapped their route north of Bismarck because of the added cost, and that it would in fact threaten more water wells, and thus affect a lot more people of every creed, and color. What you said in your video has been debunked as the typical "fake news/meme" that it is.

    I want to say that it's awesome to see someone who shares my passion for blending philosophy with justice. I have to be honest– though it gets annoying when people say "Oh, but you're a smart SJW and you ACTUALLY think things through with logic ." It would be cool if you talked about how people who are devoted to justice often are pegged as irrational and brash; the false dichotomy of 'SJWs' using emotion and everyone else using logic.

    Hello Ollie. I do want to donate to your channel to help you with finances. I will do just that at the beginning of the New Year. I have had many things hit me financially all at once this month, so I shall return next month with a modest donation, as I believe in supporting the type of thought provoking dialogue your channel inspires. I am planning on starting a channel of my own in the next few weeks as well. Perhaps we will cross paths in that way in the near future as well. Warmest Regards – Carrie

    in my opinion, just try the beard, shaving one is always faster than growing one 😉
    Furthermore I must concur that you are hot and may I add that intelligence surely also plays a part in your attractiveness …
    Keep up the good work!

  12. @richardpaul7766

    August 9, 2025 at 12:25 pm

    Two things:
    1) you should definitely grow a Philip Zimbardo beard
    2) would you be willing to do a video on the current kratom debacle happening in the U.S. right now? It could easily dive into drug policy and the ideologies behind that. That is something I'd (and I'd think others would too) like to study in depth.

    August 9, 2025 at 12:25 pm

    Your ideas, thoughts, questionings and reading advices are hot. It often warms my heart to know that someone as intelligent and benevolent as you exists in the world today.
    Thank you for making me love philosophy, inspiring me, making me read so many great books that have shaped my thoughts and inspired me, for making me question myself and the world more every day and for giving education to the world.
    I think you are a great human being.

    Great stuff man as always. Big fan, used to listen to Stefan Molineux and I stopped because I think he is a sophist. Glad to have found you.
    Regarding the beard, don't do it bro

    I've always seen liberal as being a statement on your position on social policies rather than a left/right issue. I used to be very left wing, now I'd consider myself more centre or even slightly towards the right however for all of that i always maintained I was liberal as that was more important to my identity and political views than left/right was. Any thoughts on that definition of liberal?

  22. @admiralpercy

    August 9, 2025 at 12:25 pm

    Say no to the goatee; all us beard wearers go through that stage, and it doesn't work for any of us (cf. Penn Jillette & Louis C. K.). Full beard may work, depends on the thickness. Try it. Else you'll always wonder.

    Where do you go to drama school? I'm at the University of Minnesota as a BFA Actor and in our junior year, we go to London for a semester and get to study and perform at the globe. Also, do you have any ideas for how actors or artists can make an impact in politics? Thanks!

  31. @michaelberg9348

    August 9, 2025 at 12:25 pm

    'i'll be growing a beard, because i won't be bringing any means to…. not.' (airport-wise i see why)
    'i do have a specific idea of how i want the result to look'…….

    If you can pull it off, you have undoubtedly earned the title that comes with it.

    I'm relatively new-ish to your channel and I have to say, it's amazing. Thanks for making such cool videos, it's always awesome to discover a new channel that you can binge watch and also become smarter. I've been watching for a few weeks now and I see you still reading and responding to comments on very old videos which shows you really care about your community. Kudos to you good sir.

    I'm not even a philosophy student, I study law, but these subjects really interest me so thanks again.

    I'm one of the people who left the 'islamaphobic' comments you chose not to share. There's no doubt that geo politics plays into the formation of groups like Isis and Al Qaeda. But the efforts of these groups to recruit new members to their cause are made easier by the fact that you can draw a straight line between the actions of Islamists and Jihadists and the specific doctrines of their holy books. Their work is made easier still by our insistence on putting a protective Vale on religious dogmatism. My suggestion isn't that 1.6 billion Muslims need to apostatize…but challenging specific ideas isn't bigoted or 'islamaphobic'…It's the only way we as a global society can move towards an increasingly secular society. Am I wrong in thinking this? More importantly…does saying this mean I hate muslims?

  43. @Hecatonicosachoron

    August 9, 2025 at 12:25 pm

    You should totally grow a Doctor Strange beard, it would be awesome!
    I have two suggestions if I may – would you do an episode on the Grundrisse? Secondly, would you do something on Fichte?
    I am trying to find a window on German idealism, but simply can't manage that at the moment – there seems to be so much literature that it's hard to know where to begin. If you could suggest something I'd be very grateful.

    Since Trump got elected, I am suddenly much more convinced that terrorists can bring the West down. Maybe they already did. I never thought they could harm us as societies before but now democracies are falling left and right.
