I was mostly ambivalent towards him until the america pox video, but that definitely turned me off since I had at least two history professors spend lectures talking about how bad guns germs and steel was as a book and threatened to kick out anyone who used it as a source for their classes.
I also briefly listened to his podcast and as smug as he comes off from YouTube, it is controlled compared to his actual real life bullshit. Listen to him decry people who keep mementos of things from their lives and shame his wife for wanting to put pictures of things she likes. This utilitarian only wants things in his life that he actually uses, and I'd be shocked if he hasn't been divorced at this point for his avoidance of all connections to emotions. He also shilled tesla cars alot, weird he didn't do any due diligence on Elon and just wanted a cool computer car regardless of who was making it.
Also he would constantly complain that people are too hard him so he takes longer to verify his content is accurate but then his video is always just one source as mentioned and he's just summarized it. Why did that take 8 months of effort? I hate him as well.
