The technical definition of what Whaifallthist is doing is called rambling

Props to his dedication though

 I hope he figures things out.

Hey, did you know that "WhatifAltHist" is an anagram for "Halfwit, That is"

Just a dumb joke I made on Discord some time ago.

Is Pseudo-Scholarly Ideological Sense-Making Rambling more accurate?

Even Tom Bilyeu from Impact Theory interviewed this guy.

Lately he's been platforming the very worst thinkers possible , and he claims Impact Theory is committed to an unbiased pursuit of the truth as his YT description says.

I guess it's a hard rule that if you have a net worth of 100m+ you must have some serious epistemic blind spots ( Tom Bilyeu is pro Trump)

1) Any popular person who claims to care about truth should be immediately doubted.

2) You don't make $100M by caring about truth.

3) Certainly no marketing person cares about truth.

I have done too much hate-listening to Whatifalthist, Jordan Peterson, Stefan Molyneux, The Lotus Eaters, Sargon of Akkad, and Joe Rogan to balance my perspective. Some of these were a kind of intellectual role model to me. 
But, I think it has mostly been a waste of time. I struggle to find one reasonable right-wing talking head who has generally good sense-making ability.
