For the amount of flavour (regardless of the alcoholic content), he might as well be drinking apple juice. Noticed in one of his videos it's Wiser's Deluxe, which is the cheapest of the whole line. Not even Special Blend (Small Batch and above is nice).

Like, it's funny, before I dismissed Anita for being boring and not that interesting, however she's gotten much better and I now actually have a deep respect for Anita Sarkeesian, she's weathered their storm, chugged along and is still making nice videos and nice critiques on the internet while those freaks who screeched at her became white nationalist Nazis, god bless that brave Armenian angel.

I really appreciate her earnestness and sensitivity to the bottomless horror that is life on earth. I've been soaking in irony for my entire adult life, so I can't help responding to reality with weary contempt, but I really admire her capacity to be genuinely, sincerely appalled at our wretched world. Like, I don't even think she wants to do the light hyperbole and irony in that first episode of her new show, and I really admire that. I wish I could be that way in the world.

You mean Jordan Owen? I thought he had a sort of breakdown or something and just stopped doing videos or something.

I might be wrong as I don't follow them with the same fervour as they follow Anita Sarkeesian.

Almost makes me want to do spoof videos of me ranting about something stupid in a bathtub or on a couch.

What was the context of that UCT video? I can't find one that doesn't have Rationalists shouting about it or appears without context.

There's a lot that can be said about finding ways to improve scientific epistemology, and strong philosophical arguments that increasing diversity actually increases objectivity as inherent biases are allowed to play against each other, and that's a worthwhile discussion for philosophy of science. There's also the way that science is presented as some uniquely European endeavor with the contributions of the Levant, Mesopotamia, and India often severely undervalued, and that's a worthwhile discussion for history of science. There's also the issue of what the end goal of science should be, where the funding comes from, and how that knowledge is used, and that's a worthwhile discussion for ethics of science.

When it comes to the science itself though, people have to do a lot of work with the best current models, testing and straining and improving upon them. Any attempt to disregard the underlying epistemological methods entirely can lead to dangerous things like total solipsism or climate change denial or stupid poo poo like What the Bleep Do We Know!?

Somebody a ways up the thread mentioned that Jordan has been pretty quiet since it kind of dawned on him how much he's hosed up his life. Pity it took this much to get it across but that's the way it is.

Edit: Al Lowe is the only one who talked to him and that's probably because Al Lowe doesn't seem to have a clue what's going on most of the time. He kickstarted another remake of LSL1 a few years back with another ex-Sierra guy by the name of Paul Trowe. Trowe is a whacky rear end in a top hat who outed another Sierra alum as trans on Twitter, and then later git in legal trouble for showing a 15 year old girl indecent images.
