Even in videos where the topic is more constrained, I don't think his information is that much better. For instance, in his "Explaining Communism" video, he claims that communism came from the illuminati and 19th century occultism.
Oh absolutely. More focused videos aren’t some panacea for his problems. You could write an entire book on his issues. His insane methodology for source choices alone could be an entire PHD thesis on its own. Not to mention the chapters you could fill with “this is why you don’t do psychedelics.”
The problem is that the genetic evidence show Ashkenazi Jews are sematic and not Khazars, its more outdated than insane.. I'm not sure all of those genetic studies are as high of a quality as they make them out to be, but I don't know of any specific problems with this one.
Are you suggesting that a 23-year-old schizophrenic molestation victim is not the best source of historical knowledge
I don't really see how genetic studies disproves the idea of the Khazars converting to Judaism, and doing so to try to remain neutral - it just means the Khazars remained an ethnically distinct group. Not every theory about the Khazars and their ethnogenesis is some schizoid holdover from the 40s.
I think his most glaring issue is his inability to adopt a "historical" attitude when talking about anything. It always comes off as if he is just trying to vaguely reference historical events in order to push his own ideology rather than give an accurate explanation or description of those events.
Key flaw in the "mouse utopia" was that while the researchers provided the mice with nesting boxes, fresh food and water, there was practically no enrichment available, not a single running wheel, nothing. (From what I remember.) That explains why some mice started spending all their time grooming themselves, much better than whatever "behavioral sink" is supposed to mean.
They really aren’t bad, people just notice schizos taking them and blame the psychedelics instead of the underlying issues the schizo already had. Anyone with a decent head on their shoulders who isn’t abusing the stuff or using it casually will be fine
Exactly. The drugs themselves are not the problem, it's people being retards and abusing them. The dose makes the poison.
Early in the thread I'd make jokes about the drugs themselves winning because I assumed Rudy was smart enough to actually do harm reduction because he values his brain so much and poking at him with "drugs are bad mmkay" I figured would make him annoyed because he's in this whole Terrence McKenna era, but nope turned out dude's only precaution was maybe drinking some water occasionally lol.
Recreational drug use is not medicinal and ease of availability encourages retardation with them.
Frying your brain to cure depression is like cutting off your hand because you got frostbite. I would say it's about as cheap a way out as suicide but suicide is at least a one-time payment.
Depends on the type of depression. Most people can manage it through diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes, those people don't need it at all and need to actually focus on working on themselves. The kind that is the product of a faulty genetic roll where your brain can't reproduce enough dopamine? The kind that might be brought on by severe trauma? Both might get use out of it. I won't say for certain until more studies are done, but I'm not letting someone who lost their job and broke up with their romantic partner grab shrooms willy nilly, I'm looking at people who are barely helped by their medications.
I agree on the first thing pretty much, but not on the second. He's talking about all the evidence that microdoses of psychedelics have proven to help the mentally ill. The doctor isn't going to be giving Rudy doses to patients to cure their PTSD.
Lobotomy can also "help" the mentally ill. Do not encourage people to fuck up their brains instead of getting real treatment
