Early Access: The Origins of Conservatism
Added 2019-03-16 05:43:51 +0000 UTCHere is the rough cut of the companion video to Always a Bigger Fish. It's missing credits, the audio is mediocre, and there's at least one slide I need to change, but it's mostly what it's gonna be in the final version.
I'll be doing revisions to this and Always a Bigger Fish over the weekend and hopefully releasing both early next week.
Cheers!

Thanks for your labor and your thinking and the way you express your current conclusions and ideas.
2019-03-24 13:25:03 +0000 UTCWow. Yup- I see it now. I think I've watched that portion of the video 5 or 6 times now. Seventh time's the charm, I guess.
Supererogatory = moral extra credit
2019-03-20 12:52:23 +0000 UTCBottom right. It says L-R: Edmund Burke, Joseph de Maistre, The Marquess of Halifax, Richard Hooker, David Hume.

2019-03-20 04:39:09 +0000 UTCIt certainly would be redundant to put them in twice, but I'm not seeing them, still, and I watched the video 3 times before commenting. The nameplates you show before going into the showtune are Jevons, Menger, and Walras, and that's at ~4:27. At 4:15 it is indeed Leibniz and Hume and the possible Gassendi, along with Burke and 1 other I don't recognize but I see nary a nameplate- unless you've already added them on a different version of the video?

2019-03-20 04:02:27 +0000 UTCNo, this is a fair point. I've rephrased it to "a left wing and a right wing." Thanks!

2019-03-20 01:29:11 +0000 UTCHm. It's the same faces I show at 4:15, where I *do* use name plates. Do you think it needs them twice? Feels redundant to me...

2019-03-20 01:28:40 +0000 UTCI laughed out loud at Jordan Peterson. Also, at around 5:30 you mention the foundations of conservative thought and show three philosophers you don't mention by name- I recognized Leibniz and Hume, but who is the third unnamed philosopher you show? Is it Gassendi? I might suggest name plates.
Supererogatory = moral extra credit
2019-03-19 19:30:05 +0000 UTCUpon investigation, I am, in fact, using that term incorrectly. Good catch!

2019-03-19 14:00:57 +0000 UTCAwesome video! At 9:11 you say "their reactionary, accelerationist base". I know of accelerationism in a marxian context, how is it meant here?
2019-03-19 13:39:11 +0000 UTCI remember this twitter thread. The video is really good.

2019-03-19 02:31:00 +0000 UTCWell I'm definitely ordering Neoreaction a Basilisk. Excellent video :) looking forward to enthusiastically sharing it with people.
2019-03-18 16:14:30 +0000 UTCtypical of internet commenters, I didn't watch to the end.

2019-03-17 20:53:18 +0000 UTCum... I mention Robin by name twice in the video...
Ian Danskin
2019-03-17 19:56:20 +0000 UTCYou should check out Corey Robin's work on this subject, it's definitely in the same line of thinking.

2019-03-17 17:14:53 +0000 UTCThat was really informative and your research is very impressive! One thing I'd like to add: At 9:20 you say that "Most democracies have a liberal wing and a conservative one [...]" and although I do not have any studies about this at hand, I would say, that in many democracies (for example in Europe and South America) it's generally more a confrontation between a conservative wing and a leftist, usually social democratic wing, which I would not subsume under "liberal". Maybe that point of view ist too euro-centric or too pedantic in this instance, so feel free to disagree with me.
2019-03-16 14:42:02 +0000 UTCoutstanding work! i am pulling a ton of research and notes to help out a friend who is starting to listen to Candace Owens a lot . Hopefully I can pull her from the brink of the abyss, with these videos and the research links. Thanks again!
