Honestly this isn’t academically/scientifically rigorous. It’s unfortunate that Matt Christmas did not undertake some form of higher level learning to give a better framework to his ideas because otherwise it’s most just vibes. As much as the college system sucks I don’t think anyone can argue that it does give you the ability to put forward well thought arguments and ideas (or you can be a sellout striver as is usually the case).
He does have some higher learning. I believe Matt has a bachelor’s and master’s degree in history. He talked several times about how he dropped out of his PhD program because he didn’t want to go into academia and a history PhD is only useful if you are trying to become a history professor. I think that the more loose vibes based part is just because that is how he liked to deal with the Cush Vlog content and his streaming/podcasting style. He said that the Cush Vlog was him just airing out thoughts and ideas that came to him that day/week and seeing if other people thought there was something there to pursue further.
Yeah not so much criticizing him as opposed to kinda wishing he had done some academic level work because he definitely had a lot of interesting ideas. And honestly he was right about a lot of stuff he talked about. But if you’re writing a book that contributes to ideally Marxist literature it needs to be a much more rigorous endeavor. As opposed to recreational reading for the left leaning.
Wildly bad idea
i just wanna see how they adapt the chair breaking incident
He’s got a voice made for print so this will be an improvement on his usual output but wtf
I thought Chris Wade was working on this?
yeah I thought they did a call for volunteers like, maybe a year ago now or more?

Who is Ben Burgis? Can I get a quick rundown?
Jacobin style soc-dem that does introductory philosophy content and debates people online.
I’d describe him, but I don’t wanna get banned
He was on the michael brooks show a few times - professor of logic or something. Did debate stuff, had a youtube - maybe still does, debates at people.
I’m looking forward to the ramblings on John R. Brinkley making it into this. https://youtu.be/2kJCqnPQosc?t=2682
