Self-reflection, critique, politics, driving

I just want to be left alone.

Hey mate. I know you probably get asked this all the time but is the JCS channel going to continue uploading? One of my favourite channels on YouTube.

I know the story of why there’s no more JCS, but man, I really miss JCS. 10’s of millions of views should tell you we love it. Good luck and much health in all you do, buddy

Another fantastic Kizzume Fowler production.

I don't think of things in terms of "sides" unless the person I am talking to is just openly and almost verbatim repeating things I've heard others say on the news. I do not, however, treat every claim anew as if I am hearing it for the first time and must evaluate it fresh. I try to pin people on the obvious (and often it's obvious) flaws in their statements. More often than not they resort to claiming things that are indisputably true as "fake news" and "didn't happen" because it's really inconvenient for them.

Did you see the eclipse?

I think public debates between two people should always start with both people steel-manning the opponent's point of view. If they are unable to, then they are just there to win, not to further knowledge, and the debate should be cancelled.

Brilliant Kizzume

I live in a country that partially doesn't have speed limits and I have gone very fast before. I've never done anything that endangers other, myself or my passengers. I am a rather quick driver on my own, tend to slow down with others in the car though. While I do manage to avoid most close call or undesirable situations, there is a greater sens of agression. How much differs from country to country. Driving in Germany is really likable, whereas driving in Poland is really something else. People are a lot less patient and aware of whats going on, while being very agressive.

I’ll never apologize for not speeding. Sorry!
