This is so fucking grim. Mostly because of how these boys are. You can actively see why lonely people in a world that cut everyone off from genuine connection and meaning would fall into the arms of sycophantic machines.

It’s really cool that in the course of 100 years, planes went from being able to carry one guy and he was probably gonna die to being able to carry hundreds of guys who were virtually guaranteed not to die and Americans decided to just not do that anymore because emails had pronouns or whatever

"ChatGPT Gave Me An Eating Disorder!" is available ad-free for patrons and channel members! It will be available for free with ads shortly.

I find it incredibly frustrating btw that in doing an exposé about AI exacerbating eating disorders that these automated filters will shut down my work as if I were the one promoting harmful behaviors.
lol actually that new video is gonna be a few more days out sorry guys. this version will be up for patrons and channel members shortly tho.

Honestly this was one of the most challenging essays to make. Benatar's anti-natalism contains multiple very clever sleights of hand and mistruths built on top of each other. Sarah was really suffering and sick through the pregnancy. Plus my autistic hyper fixation went into overdrive.
just wanted to share this by my good friends The Leftist Cooks: all about anti-natalism & the ideology behind it.

this is a rare work of actual, novel philosophy on the topic: we are lucky that this is available for free on YouTube. Neilly even wrote a book to accompany it.
