Independent thinker valuing discussions grounded in reason, not emotions.

I say unpopular things but never something I know to be untrue. Always open to hear good-faith counter arguments. My goal is to engage in dialogue that seeks truth rather than scoring points.

  • I mean, there’s a good chance dogs can experience nostalgia. I’d say that it’s even likely. However, my point is that we can’t know for sure and I’d argue that we may not ever find out. Nostalgia is a subjective experience that appears in consciousness and just like consciousness itself, there zero evidence of it in the world outside of your own experience of it. How would you study something that can’t even be detected?


  • I’ve listened somewhere between 500 to 1000 episodes from him. I wouldn’t exactly call myself a fan but it’s just one of the shows I’ve subscribed to on my podcast app and when ever he has a quest on who sounds interesting I download the episode and listen to it while working. I don’t agree with him on everything but that applies to all the other podcasters I listen to as well. Joe has his flaws but generally I find him smart, nice, honest and a reasonable person. If one bases their opinion about him on the articles and YouTube clips of him then I can’t really blame them for having a skewed perspective but personally, as someone who has listened thru the entire 3 hour episode and knows the full context, I’m not very convinced by most of the accusations made of him. One simply couldn’t hide their “true personality” while putting out tens of thousands if hours of unscripted discussions online. I feel pretty confident in saying that I know Joe about as well as you can know someone without ever having met them.












  • It is by far my favourite game ever. I’m not aware of any other quite like it. The level of immersion is insane and like you said, you really don’t want to die and lose everything you’ve been working for tens of hours. The base game itself is not that difficult once you get the hang of it but the fact that you may get shot at by other player literally at any moment changes everything. It’s an absolutely massive map and even if there was like only 5 other people playing you still can’t let your guard down because one may be in the same town as you. I just wish people were more willing to talk instead of shooting on sight, though I can’t really blame them.
