From what I saw he’s a “Orwell is a great socialist author” and “the USSR was fascist” kind of terminally white bourgeois British dude. Did he, like, watched a Hakim or JT video before accepting?? I hope it’s because he’s having a redemption arc or something
Hasan is great tho, he is a fundamental part of the ML pipeline.
It’s a pipeline of consumerism and wealthy debatebros that is deeply intertwined with tech-media corps and relies on donations from impressionable people. It’s all branding and discourse at the marketplace of ideas.
He’s cringe for multiple reasons, but unlike the “debate bros” he never tries to avoid people moving left.
