I’m not really interested in people just ideas and views. The video was a good one.
Though “one of the most important public intellectuals today.” I wonder how far off being intellectual that makes me if I haven’t even heard of the guy. I was just watching an engineering video and it popped up.

Oh, please, stop. Telling people not to expose themselves to certain bits of information or perspectives is just another form of bigotry. I read two of Ayn Rand’s books, because her ideas were new and fascinating to me. That didn’t turn me into a libertarian or stop me from seeing the flaws in her ideology. But I am now more educated and less likely to be influenced by libertarian arguments as a result.
Try having discussions with people who you feel have the wrong ideas about things rather than telling them to avoid “wrongthinkers” altogether.
Thats not what I was suggesting at all. I said that YouTube’s algorithm will start flooding your feed with progressively more extreme and misinformative content.
I mean, it’s Douglas Murray. What did you expect?
I don’t even know who the guy is.
I just thought he put together some good points.

That is absolutely not what you wrote and I don’t believe it’s what you meant either.
