I follow him skeptically.

Here's Dr. Steve Turley on 5 recent revolts against activists like Extinction Rebellion and G. Thunberg. https://youtu.be/YawXLtaTD6Y
Agreed. SA shows a lot of bias (which I would guess he'd admit to as well), but he's certainly a bright guy. He also makes a ton of predictions, so when some land, it's easy to point those out. Predicting that free high definition pornography would cause a decline in sex probably isn't much of a stretch.

Since I'm a loaner type (of the outgoing sort), I do pretty well to be critical of people and groups I admire. I don't follow politics, so much of what SA says on those topics sounds like a foreign language to me, though his analysis of tactics is interesting.

His Neitzsche-like philosophy would be in conflict with my Kantian-like philosophy.
