Interesting youtube channels recommendations share
Youtube recommendations these days keep on disappointing. It's either AI generated content, strivers gaming the algo and usually a mix of both. I'm really running out of stuff to put in the background when cooking or doing chores. Thought that perhaps dark elves here might have some interesting gems to offer. But no need to overthink it.

Opinion on the film Idiocracy as Hereditarianist material
I think It ultimately have a sort of an entertaining didactic value even if far from being without flaws , sure there are plot inconsistencies like the survival of the pimp, even the worldbuilding isn't so unbelievable:thugtards believing that the higher sophistication of the more intelligent protagonist, although by their age standards a midwit, is a feminine trait that must be punished with sha…

The marketplace of ideas and fake economics slop
Has anyone else noticed a certain type of content dominating the marketplace of ideas? There’s 2 key features I’ve observed. They always blame our problems on shadowy organizations rather than the masses and extrapolate patterns from 100 years ago (or even longer for real “philosophers”) to fit current events.
