Don’t be a territorial groupie.
0:00-2:27 Intro and sneaky oozy ethnic essentialism
2:27-3:21 Me as Territorial Apatheist
3:21-4:52 How I react to the reactions on 2023-10-08
4:52-6:42 How decisively convenient / Sham procedures for verifying who’s done it worse
6:42-8:05 Balkans are hopeless on loop
08:05-9:45 Humans as flattery-chasers first and foremost, then, maybe, rational agents.
9:45-13:13 Strategy Allergy: Western Muslims Who Attend Pro-Palestinian Rallies In The Wake Of This
13:13-14:40 More Jews should legally permit such rallies whenever incitement is not in the cards. As I always say: It’s informative.
14:40-16:13 You’re all so antlike
16:13-18:11 Implications for the already all-too-stifling Overton Window
18:11-19:43 I don’t sweat Serbophobia; past, present and future. I’m not an especially heroic person. No sense in letting me be ethnically braver than you. If you’re Western and Jewish, don’t get swept up in narratives suggesting anti-Semites are a threat to you. (Just don’t travel to TME anytime soon…)
19:43-21:55 Athletics analogy: Team vs. Solo competition with implications for attitudinal collectivism and individualism.
21:55-23:37 Might be the biggest plague on the mind of man
23:37-24:23 Me and my passé facts and figures
24:23-26:58 Deindividuation and Fact-Offs
26:58-27:23 We’ll always have egos, so treat them like germs and farts; only recoil when it’s someone else’s.
27:23-29:57 Ayn was decent and thoughtful in ways
29:57-31:51 Towards group identity pacifism
31:51-33:09 On things I don’t say…
33:09-35:50 Maybe we brag too much
35:50-38:00 Slippery Facts: Beheading Hamas vs. Collateral Damage
38:00-38:10 There’s always kids
38:10-39:59 I Ain’t Disposable
39:59-41:40 Here’s why
