The YouTube recommendations algorithm keeps getting worse and worse, suggesting shallow crap. We need to crowd-source this problem. Let's begin keeping a list of the best, unknown YouTube channels. I'm always looking for high-quality channels related to philosophy, psychology, political science, sociology, history, documentaries, geography, travel, etc. I'm looking for serious channels with mature people who talk about mature subjects. Not drama, not culture wars, not clickbait, not entertainment. Channels with interesting, high-quality content. Channels that are educational and add to our understanding of the world. These channels usually have fewer subscribers, less popular. If you know of such channels, if you find new channels of this kind, please share them here. When you share the link, please write a few words about what the channel is about and why it's worth watching. I will share the best of these suggestions on my blog as well. Thank you. Examples of the kind of channels I'm talking about: https://www.youtube.com/@TheDissenterRL/videos https://www.youtube.com/@WHATISPOLITICS69/videos https://www.youtube.com/@SoftWhiteUnderbelly/videos https://www.youtube.com/@thestoa/videos https://www.youtube.com/@IntegralNaked/videos https://www.youtube.com/@LetsTalkReligion/videos

Red Pill is too stupid to read books about it. Hehe.

Bad example by Shapiro, since TYT and Hasan pay quite a bit of taxes relative to a an average American.

Are you kidding? They were stupid enough to do Oct 7th. It is like you ignore Oct 7th ever happened.

No one knows or cares. The only people who think there's anything special about me, is you guys.

Israel has legit security concerns. Giving a military to Palesatine is like handing a box of grenades to your lunatic homocidal neighbor. You are assuming secuity. But this whole issue is about insecurity. In typical leftist fashion you assume security.

Hence psychedelics.

I'm not sure. Requires contemplation.

200 is already corporate hell. Past 100, managing people becomes the whole challenge.

Please find examples of fake spirituality. I am especially interested in New Age examples. But cult examples are also acceptable. This is spirituality that is very conformist, performative, fantastical, conceptual, ungrounded, word salad, grifty, magical, corrupt, occult. Cringe spiritual BS, basically. I want to see how bad it gets. How deep does self-deception and fantasy go? How deep does the New Age go?

I'm making this thread to collect every important video or source of information I find about understanding Israel's deceptive behavior. I've found dozens upon dozens of important videos, too many to fit on the blog. So I'm going to keep adding them here. Feel free to add your own. This is not a thread about debating the Israel-Gaza war. I want to build up a playlist of quality videos for people who want a deep understanding of Israel's deceptive behavior -- the underbelly, if you will. This playlist does not focus on understanding Hamas or Arab terrorism or the latest news about the Gaza conflict (since we already have a thread for that). Warning, this list will be pretty negative as it focuses on uncovering deception, propaganda, bias, ethnic cleansing, war crimes, and deconstructing illusions. I see a lot of deception and bias about Israel in mainstream western media which I want to dispel. That's what this playlist is about. This is part of my study of self-deception and self-bias. Sorry if this doesn't seem fair, but this is what I needed to study to unravel the deceptions. This is part of my own sense-making journey. Feel free to discuss any of the videos or share your own. Be mindful not to share low quality, hateful, or misleading/untruthful material. The point here is not be deliberately negative but to gain a deeper understanding of the Israel situation. I will delete any low quality material posted here.

You create a Palestinian state and it will attack Israel.

I have undertaken Leo's Geography Challenge, and I encourage ya'll to join me. Post your updates and share your favorite documentaries here.

Once the team is over 100 devs, you're in corporate hell. Indie dev is the solution. Games need to be small and more creative. Huge success corrupts every studio.

What do you mean by insanity? You can always lower your dose.

You can push it, but you should understand why those ideas will not get adopted any time soon. Many of those leftist ideas are highly impractical and ungrounded. The problem with leftists is that they love to moralize without understand the realities of survival. You love to say stop the genocide, but you have no actual solution to the situation. This is like a child screaming: "Ice cream now!" How do you stop terrorists from attacking Israel?

When we talk about dating advice, we are generalizing.

Post your best police cam videos here. This YT channel is AMAZING!

Emptiness = Infinity

@Carl-Richard I'm glad you understand the concept of hyperbole. Now apply it to what OP was saying.

Not at all. There are many functional drug addicts. You can do heroin and still keep a job. If most drug addicts were homeless, the homeless situation would be 10x worse than it is.

@Carl-Richard Many drug addicts aren't homeless.

Men lie like crazy just for sex. Look in the mirror.
