Defying everyone's expectations by actually coming out with a new video before the month ends.
This one is inspired by Dr. Doom Daddy's Doom II mod and concerns Margaret Thatcher, neoliberalism, Post-Fordism, and video games. There's no shortage of YouTube content about neoliberalism, but i...

Good news! Repeater Books allowed me to share an early, exclusive excerpt from my book on here as a thank you to my patrons. This is the introduction. If you read it, please let me know your thoughts/impressions, even if in a single word. I'm extremely excited and interested in your reactions! Th...

So naturally I played it. While playing it I realized I could easily use it as a jumping off point for a discussion of topics like neolib...

Just finished writing the notes for the new video. If you found the video interesting, please check it out, as I cover more of Schopenhauer's aesthetics and Nietzsche's Birth of Tragedy, and introduce a couple of related concepts that I didn't mention in the video. If you come to read it...

It's here!!! Gonna get to work on the supplementary notes today and will upload them as soon as I can. Thank you!
2021-09-02 15:08:39 +0000 UTC View PostToday and yesterday I had 6-hour long recording sessions for my audiobook, and after today's session I finally finished editing my Berserk video, which is being exported now. As soon as it's exported, I'll upload it to YouTube, so we're very close!

Just so you know I didn't disappear again, I've started editing the video, so hold on to your seats!
2021-08-24 06:47:28 +0000 UTC View PostThe script for my upcoming video on Berserk is fully written. It's almost twice as long as my Heidegger & Miyazaki script, so the video will probably be over an hour long – pretty fair after such a long absence.
I'm currently in the process of recording the audio, which is taking a w...
The past two months I have been working on a video script about Berserk and Nietzsche, and I am very happy to announce that it is almost done. Working on it has been extremely difficult not just for personal reasons but because there are so many potential topics to explore in Berserk, and I want ...
2021-08-12 22:24:55 +0000 UTC View PostHi again! I'm sorry about the long absences, I decided I should be more open about this: writing a book has been a really task, more stressful than I had imagined. I got really burnt out and it led to a period of depression and severe lack of motivation, which is why I've been absent a lot - avoi...
2021-05-20 23:47:34 +0000 UTC View PostSince I'm still working on my book, and I don't want you to have to wait too long for a new video, I came up with a few video topics that I'm already somewhat read up on, so that I wouldn't need to do an overwhelming amount of research, and make my next video more quickly.
The op...

These are two of my essays, written a couple of years apart, both for university. They're probably more dryly academic than a lot of my videos, but they shouldn't be too difficult to read. The...

Because I've been away from home, I haven't had a chance to record the audio for my next video (about my 10 favorite books I read in 2020). Sorry about that.

I jump from topic to topic more than usual in this one. I touch on Fredric Jameson, Jean Baudrillard, Mark Fisher, and some others. Hope you enjoy!

Since I've been taking so long with this video, just wanted to let everyone know that the Simpsons script is written and the audio recorded, now moving onto the editing!

So I'm back to making videos. I've actually been researching a lot for my Simpsons video the past few days and I think it won't take me as long to make as I thought, so that might be the next video I upload. See you then!

Firstly, the last poll made it clear that my next video will be on The Simpsons. Unfortunately, I won't be able to work on this video until October. My recording microphone breaking is one reason why but not the main one. The main reason is that I have to finish writing BOTH my book for Repeater ...

I thought I should make a quick update given the delayed video release. Everything except the video editing is done. I'm putting in the extra time and effort to make the video look nice. Once it's done, I'll put out reading notes for it, as well as the older video on Marx and the state. Thank you...
