DROPPING IN 48 HOURS: "I Disagree with Big Joel About Avatar, I Guess"

didn't expect to get to write a thomas sowell critique for this script but happy to

similarly, restricting critiques to comparisons to asceticism makes for weak argumentation as it implies viewing the issue only through the lens of the spiritual or morality of consumption

I kinda don't understand how you can oppose degrowth universally by comparing it to austerity -- maybe other specific critiques and condemnations I could get -- because that implies you think economic relations can only be mediated through government restrictions/law

BTW if anybody has any resources on "mutual abuse" that involve actual statistical or empirical evidence I'd love to see it, basically everything I have that's reputable is clinicians' opinions saying "that shit's not real" but I'd like something that makes reference to data to complete the picture, if such a review exists

it warms my heart that emma saw that twitter edit. I hope people watch the video but I also hope they continue to appreciate her work.

nice to have a bit of breathing room for now. next week's video is already scheduled. going into the library to do some final research for the one after that on monday, then going to record it and the patron video this week. finally on schedule schedule.

thinking about the possibility of reworking my old essay on the showa emperor of japan and exploring the issue of his culpability for japanese war crimes in ww2. would be an eventual future project.

incredibly defeating to work on extended researched videos just to get called a pedophile by a huge swarm of conservatives. it's an insane amount of work for almost zero payoff. no idea how long I am for this content creation game to be honest, this break was supposed to be fulfilling but it's just teaching me how little opportunity there is in this game. guess I'll keep trying but idk.

My hope is that if I make enough smart, well-crafted material about things I actually care about that isn't built on drama, then people will eventually gravitate towards it and my community can be a space that prioritizes those things. But for now it seems like leftist infighting and frequent uploads gets you the numbers, so it's going to be an effort to turn that around. But I want to, because I want that for myself and for my community. I just don't know how to get there.

NEW VIDEO! It's a very important day for us as we're dressing down Tim Pool's disgusting attempt to lie to Emma Vigeland and to his audience on his show. This one was a bit of work and required me to put my nose to the grindstone again. I hope everybody enjoys it, because along the way I found that it mattered to me a lot that people understood what happened in that conversation.

tomorrow's video's mission statement:

-spread the truth about zucker
-vindicate trans commentators and community members who have been beating this drum for years
-call into question rhetoric around desistance
-vindicate cisgender allies who have rallied to defend trans youth
-make sure everyone knows leelah alcorn's story

it's become about more than correcting tim pool. I set out to do that but it's bigger now. it's about us. be there 2pm CST.

"I just think, you know, studies have shown that if you're a high value man, like 95 to 99th percentile, your value on the sexual marketplace trades better over time, you know, whereas women peak at 18 and fall off at 23, they hit the wall. No man really wants a woman like that."

DROPPING IN 48 HOURS: "How Tim Pool Lied to Emma Vigeland's Face"

still thinking about what the last video essay to round out august will be. got the blade essay, the skyrim/elden ring tutorial design analysis essay, the (surprise) patron essay and the wi spa essay. just need one more thing.

Honestly, I think this JustPearlyThings essay response is so cathartic to write because it allows me to lean in heavily to rhetorical analysis, which ended up being a big part of some of my time in academia and feels like the kind of thing at least a subset of viewers will enjoy.

gonna record the tim pool essay and have it edited and scheduled tonight. then hopefully finish writing up the justpearlythings response and this month's patron video, to be recorded tomorrow and the day after. that'll free me up to finish other projects this month, hopefully.

I can't imagine the JustPearlyThings response will get a ton of attention on my channel, but I wish it would because (1) it's taken a lot of effort to research and (2) I think more needs to be done to defend against rhetoric that is harmful to women and girls.

oh, and I got to use that Sartre quote in a really satisfying way for the justpearlythings video, so hopefully people will enjoy that one. kinda controversial but also kinda not.
