Again, another day, another weak analysis and hyperbolic nonsense.

Boring.

Is there anyone in the mainstream that is worth listening to in your opinion?

 

[Deleted member 90256]

The ones that agree with him. It's the typical echo chamber that the Internet has allowed people to live in and feel right regardless of facts.

He's said the Financial Times...

Oh yes so he did. Fair enough. There must be a few others but maybe not. We shall see. The suspense is killing me.

Yes. I posted them. FT, WSJ, I plugged multiple left/right writers.

If the content is free, it’s 99% of the time not worth reading. I’ve said it before and I’ll say again, start paying for good analysis /newsgathering. Y’all are constantly posting worthless drivel that has no basis in reality.

Factually wrong. Check the posting history.

Post your Venmo’s, so I can send you some $$ for worthy publications. If you’re Welsh, I’ll give you an extra 10%. If you’re Scottish, I’ll remove 1 month from your sentence in the coal mines.

So the only mainstream ones you like are very financial heavy in WSJ and FT. The others you mentioned aren’t really mainstream are they?

Sam Harris charges for his content but you said he’s not a serious thinker. But I guess it depends.

Sam Harris is better than some shock jock from Canada.

To be fair, I wouldn’t class Sam Harris as a serious anything other than neuroscientist. I wouldn’t call him a serious philosopher or political expert. Doesn’t mean he’s not right on occasion or interesting to listen to. I also would just base it on what someone is saying and what their sources are than whether someone is charging for their content. I can see what you’re saying though, I don’t think it’s a stupid point or anything. You do tend to get what you pay for in life.

So... beyond the ad hominem... anything to comment on?

 

[AlRums]

I don't know,I don't know...I read sometimes other foreigners' posts here and I feel a shame about my English tbh I can't express my thoughts in a more complicated way that I use when I speak languages that I know better. So it looks sometimes too simple (and I have an huuuuge accent when I speak it in a real life )

We struggle sometimes in this country also, most of us don't understand the Geordie accent!!

I hate to admit it...

But I kind like him! Shame on me haha

It’s not an ad hominem.

How about I send you some vlog from my 10 year old niece. She has as much credibility as the guy you posted.

Did I say they were? This isn’t Wales. No one is forcing people to do dangerous things for low pay.

I mean, you're still talking so...

You can't deny that hasn't happened with the Internet. It's one of the biggest things and issues with it.
